Tale of Hope
Finished October 19th 2010
Lyrics and Music: JBJ
Listen close, lend me your ears for this here is a tale of hope.
I’ve travelled far, seen many miles, but this beats all that I may know.
I’d never seen a true love fire, oh the kind to send you so much higher, for two birds have found the strength to go look for the lost part of their souls.
One from the North, one from the South, where their parents built similar homes
From table scraps to slaps on the mouth and hand me downs as rags for clothes.
There was fear strong at their door, the kind to send you overboard, for somehow they have found the strength to go look for the lost part of their souls.
Many lovers none that seemed a twin to share a life, a twin to share a goal.
Then out of gray skies headed East, my dear you came to me, mate to my soul.
I said my dear let’s build us a fire, oh the kind to send us so much higher, for two birds have found the strength to go look for the lost part of their souls.
There was fear strong at their door, oh the kind to send you overboard, for somehow they have found the strength to go look for the lost part of their souls.
Listen close lend me your ears for this here is a tale of love.
