To Have Love Is To Know

Without love we’re like birds with broken wings,
Unable to soar to where our heart sings,
We’d never know the waterfalls of affection,
We’d be travellers with no sense of direction.

We need people to notice we are there,
We need someone to show they really care,
To give their love to light our inner glow,
To have love is to know all there is to know.

With love in our hearts
We have our moments in the sun,
It may come in fits and starts
But from the time that it’s begun
It radiates throughout our world
Spreads and flies like a flag unfurled.

Without love we’re like birds with broken wings,
Unable to soar to where our heart sings,
We’d never know the waterfalls of affection,
We’d be travellers with no sense of direction.

We need love so we can twist and turn,
We need love to enable us to learn,
To reveal, to share, to find our secret places,
To have love is to know all that life embraces.

Without love we’re like birds with broken wings,
Unable to soar to where our heart sings,
We’d never know the waterfalls of affection,
We’d be travellers with no sense of direction.

We need love to release our tides of emotion
To ebb and flow within us, a ceaseless ocean
Of sensations that without love could never be,
To have love is to know what it means to fly free.

To have love is to know what it means to fly free.
