The Barrier
I need you
Like the flowers need the rain
Like the grass needs the dew
You give me warm, fuzzy feelings
Deep down in my chest
An aching in my breast
It is you that I love the best
I need you now like never before
Please don't shut love's open door
Somehow there has got to be a way
For us to be together always
We've go to get that evil man
Out of the way
And soon...it would be nice if it were
Today
They're stomping on our dreams
With their hate and sadistic
Schemes
I feel just like a lil kid
Taking orders from an overgrown fat pig
It makes me sick
My love is stolen
Taken from me
By someone who doesn't deserve it
A sullen sack of
He doesn't even get the gist
Of the putrid filth he spreads
All the tears I shed
As I weep
Weep
For our one true love
My lonesome dove
Terrorized by this failure
Of a man
Who steals away in the night
Causing me an abundance of fright
Making me wish and pray
And wonder
And say
Help us
Oh God
Let us please be together
Let us find a way
Tomorrow if not today
We need each other
