Dangerous Times

It is a dangerous thing to be a lone voice
like John the Baptist
The word love is lost in translation 
Where do I find the time to say
I love you
I don’t know why I don’t… I hesitate
Love is sacrifice nothing else
There are no easy answers 
I don’t know where I’m going 
Will you drive my car 
We’ll go on a road trip through my life
I will be your passenger
It is a dangerous thing to be a lone voice 
like John the Baptist
It is a difficult thing to tell the world
It has four flat tires and your driver is drunk
