The Path of Love Can Kill a Thousand Dreams

The path of love can kill a thousand dreams
The sallow sings it’s song in midnight sky’s 
I remember trying hard in life to study, 
books shifted, page lost to working mind 
perhaps she thought my study was a threat

The sparrows work together feeding nests  
A wife that wanted money’s better dreams
Yet never saw that she could build careers 
Together we can make or break our home

The path of love can kill a thousand dreams
Broken wives beaten 
Domestic violence 
Every dream lost to the violence of lies

The path of love can kill a thousand dreams 
The bumblebee builds honey for the queen 
Money wasted, money spend the waste of one 
Destroying, dreams together 

The path of love can kill a thousand dreams 
Men destroying dreams of wives
Wives destroying dreams of men
Working together we can build 

The path of love can kill a thousand dreams 
Molested and destroyed 
A woman hurt by the abuse of a man 
Her dreams destroyed her safety ignored 

The path of love can kill a thousand dreams 
I do not know the reason for your anger 
Why take the wings of birds and stop their fight 
Why terrorise you wife most every night 

The path of love can kill a thousand dreams 
She could have climbed the stairs of life 
Pursuing a heart of loving gold
Instead, she suffers from your wrath

The path of love can kill a thousand dreams 
The path of love can build a thousand dreams
Working together you can create 
Working against each other you can destroy

She teaches him the path to loving drugs 
Drugs destroy the wealth within the house
Empty banks destroy the dreams of gold 

The path of love can kill a thousand dreams  
The dreams of love are built on living gold 
But lost to violent nights of love untold 
The path of love can kill a thousand dreams 

The path of love can build a thousand dreams 
love can be the gold of summer sun
Together we can make our lives more fun 
Budget learn and save 
Together we can grow our own careers 

The path of love can build a thousand dreams
Together we can save and build a house 
Together we can work and build careers 
Together we can build a life of care 

The path of love can build a thousand dreams
When hands then join instead of strike 
Where lovers join together lifting beams
Their songs of love are sung on summer swings 

The future of tomorrow lost today 
The little ant creates the stores for winter 
the savings of today create tomorrow
a couple can create the love that breaks 
a couple can create the love that makes
