The Power Of Love.


  Love, what is it?
  Is it a flower that nascents in the night?
  Or, is it an emotion that you just must commit?
  Love oh love, is like an airship on flight.
  
  Love, what is it?
  When i was younge and ignorant I experienced love.
  Love burned its way into my heart like
  A screaming meator burns its way into 
  The atmosphere.
 
  Love, what is it?
  My love was tested, when i was drafted.
  Every second of every day and night,
  I thought of the glistering waters and sand
  On my feet with you by my side.
  Your perpetual beauty is the only
  Reason why i never gave up the fight.
  Even when the bombs from mortars
  Decended from Heaven to rain hell, 
  I still fight.
 
  Even when the guns went bang,
  Bombs went boom,
  And soldiers went splat, 
  I still fight.
 
  Even when the fire ran wild 
  And the wind howled, 
  I still fight.
  
  I was affraid my heart would become a stone,
  But my fears flew away when i heard that we were comming home.
  
  My love for you now has surpassed my love for you before.
  My love was strengthened and forged in the crucible of war.
