We Could'Ve Been Us

Don't let fear or pride stand in the way of love. We don't get endless opportunities to find love. Be inspired by this song. Feel love. Feel strong. Be free. We could've been us By Michelle Morris 28/07/2023 In the beginning There was us We met under the stars We created Heaven on earth We were on opposite sides Of all good and evil We learned and appreciated That black and white isn't a given As we navigated our lifetimes Our stars were crossed always But we should've given us a chance We should've put pride away Because... We could've been us We could've shone together always We could've been us We could've been the light each day We could've been us If we just gave love a chance We could've been us If we could feel free to take this dance Now here we are Two broken hearts in this space Feeling so lonely Missing that warm embrace Why couldn't we do it? Put it all out there to see? Why couldn't we do it? Allow our hearts to reveal? Life passes us by The sands and waters flow Nothing stays the same We have to be free to let love show Oh, oh, oh... We could've been us We could've shone together always We could've been us We could've been the light each day We could've been us If we just gave love a chance We could've been us If we could feel free to take this dance We could've been us We could've been the sun and moon We could've been us We could've killed the solitude We could've been us If we just gave our souls this time We could've been us If we just allowed our love to shine Oh, oh, oh... We could've been us We could've shone together always We could've been us We could've been the light each day We could've been us If we just gave love a chance We could've been us If we could feel free to take this dance We could've been us We could've been the sun and moon We could've been us We could've killed the solitude We could've been us If we just gave our souls this time We could've been us If we just allowed our love to shine © Michelle Morris, 2023
