Prince

beautiful love, I sing your name
up to the angels and I pray
for me to be the one
who makes you tame

you are responsible forever
for what you have tamed
trying to tame the others
has only ended in vein

it is only with the heart
that one can see rightly
what is essential is invisible to the eye

and I march to the beat
of my own drummer
sacrificing my pride
for the heart of another

disregarding logic, ignoring all the signs
because they say that love is blind
my eyes wide open and yet I am blind
for what is essential is invisible to the eye
