Essence of Love

When I walk with you

then I know truth

When I talk with you

then I feel peace

and I'll be better than I used to be

I'll be more at home

and I'll be kinder than I used to be

I won't feel so all alone

Essence of love

how can we help each other

essence of love

if feel you are my brother

I am responsible

my own life I create

to not blame anyone

for what I think, do, and say

and I'll be better than I used to be

with grace I rise above

and I'll be kinder than I used to be

I'll be free to truly love

Essence of love

I know that it's been given

essence of love

you know I feel forgiven

He hits his pain

so he acts out

she misbehaves

but she's just hurt

what cut you off

cut you off

from who you really are?

They took your spark

well take it back!

Search easily, gently

for your essence of love

the fear you feel

the fear I feel

can't exist

in the presence

of the essence of love

Essence of love

to see the best in everyone

essence of love

even when they've come undone

essence of love

how can we help each other?

essence of love

we all are sisters and brothers

My health, my strength

my very survival

depends upon

the sweet revival

my health, my strength

my very survival

depends upon

the sweet revival

of that one pure

flame of love

one pure

flame of love
