"Love One Another"
And when I'm finally tired and lost
And my legs and body have failed me
When there's nothing left to go on
When we run out of luck at last
I guess we'll dry up like leaves in the chaff
I guess we'll die in pain
Perhaps there is no answer to that question
Perhaps I'll never see you again
To kill that which cries is what they do
And It's a better way to go at last
You cry and fight for the one you love
And you do it till it kills you
Sometimes death is the only way out
Sometimes you're trapped and have no way out
I dearly hope you cry your little heart out
I pray you cry until they finally kill you
There is only so much we can do to fight evil
Sometimes it is the purity of heart that wins
The purity of simple broken tears that fall
The tears that save the world
When terrible is too cruel to understand it
Just return it by being too kind
Kindness and love really are the way out of life
They really are the answer to all this suffering
Love and Kindness are the answer to cheese fries and tv
And walking in the rain and working to provide
Because aliens wander that lonesome galaxy on and on
Yet they aren't getting any closer to what they seek
The answer to that question wasn't anything of geometry
It wasn't in connecting one point to another
The answer wasn't in fuel tanks or provisions or staying warm
Though those things are sweet to the soul
The answer wasn't in wandering or fighting or eating gourmet food
It wasn't in money under the Christmas tree
It wasn't in fancy cars or a clean doctor's bill
It wasn't in being warm or having a place to go
The answer's symbolized briefly in the Christ Child
And it is felt most strongly at Christmas
It's when people sacrifice their needs for one another
When people give what they have to their friends
In smiles and greetings and second shances and forgiveness
In having fun and dancing and sharing secrets together
The answer is in the reasons we cry
It's in the reason it hurts to be alone
It's why we feel so safe and warm when we're loved
And why our hearts break when we are unloved
Don't throw things at others, don't be cold
And give what you have to your fellow man
Be good to yourself because self-love is important too
Self-love is crucial to being happy
You can be homeless and still love yourself
You can be perfectly happy with nothing
Just to sit still and be perfectly happy
Just to smile at a pretty sunset
Life is pleasant and the sweetest smile
Comes from those with the least things
There is a freedom in being kind and giving things away
It doesn't matter how much or how little you have
To sit on the side of the road and eat chili fries
And to be grateful as anything for your warm shoes
To be grateful for whatever you have and give things away
To dance every day of your life
The world lays like an oyster waiting to be opened
And the body is capable os feeling so much pain
Don't focus on the pain just let it all go
Pain is fleeting like an April snow
Just take what you are given and partake with God
And love one another
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
