The Importance of Love


Keep your head high and learn from your mistakes.

Keep your head high and don't let all of your hope escape.

I know it's hard to feel love when all you know is hate,

But take all your troubles and fear and wrap them up in tape.

Take that bundle of tape and just throw it away.

Maybe then, you"ll find that the people you love are here to stay.

Don't give up now.

Shh. Don't make a sound. 

Do you hear it?

Come, listen more closely to it as you sit.

It's the sound of love.

It's flying all around you like a dove.

It wants to sweep you off you're feet.

It wants to bring you to where you can see that love is all you need.

And with love, you hold a very important key.

And with love, it will make you believe.
