And love is real (Song)

 

1.

 

The gilded gears of sun still grind

against grey, manmade millstone days

as wisdom fills a dim man’s mind

and drives dark ignorance away.

 

2.

Bright roses grow from red brick walls;

round wire, barbed, they weave their stems;

like scarlet starlight, glow for all

and inspiration leave in them.

 

Chorus:

 

And love is real; yes, love you feel

can end your sorrow

and love is true and with love you

can mend tomorrow

and love is good; with love you could

make your life brighter

yes, love is hope; with love we’ll cope

make the world right

again.

 

3.

 

My heart, left in the underworld

to live among grief shadows there

is lifted by laughter of girls,

their light filled smiles and faces fair.

 

4.

 

And love, the rose of roses, blooms;

its kisses ease the cares of men;

when each day seems a deeper tomb

love rains its radiance again.

 

Chorus:

 

And love is real; yes, love you feel

can end your sorrow

and love is true and with love you

can mend tomorrow

and love is good; with love you could

make your life brighter

yes, love is hope; with love we’ll cope

make the world right

again.
