Oh, I have seen the young girls cry Thinking love has passed them by They're struggling with a heavy load But if love's not here, it's down the road And I have seen the young men run Just like their father's father's son They take the love and leave the shame Oh, but one day love will call their name and say Can you love without needing? Lift it up as a silent prayer Can you open your heart without bleeding? Take that open heart everywhere Can you hold a place within your breast For someone you've never met? Well then, love's not through with you yet Well, I have climbed to lover's lane I felt the joy, I felt the pain Asking for another's soul Thinking they could make me whole Now I heard a voice from deep inside Saying you're not blamed for love you tried Oh, you may think that love takes two But love's a gift from you to you Can you love without needing? Lift it up as a silent prayer Can you open your heart without bleeding? Take that open heart everywhere And I have tried without ceasing To give love without regret I know love's not through with me yet Can you hold a place within your breast For someone you've never met? Then love's not through with you I said love's not through with me I know love's not through with us yet
