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
I have seen the young men run
Just like their fathers', fathers' sons
They take the love and leave the shame
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 your open heart everywhere
Can you hold a place within your breast
For someone you've never met
Then love's not through with you yet
I have climbed the lover's lane
I've felt the joy, I've felt the pain
Asking for another's soul
And thinking they could make me whole
I heard a voice from deep inside
Saying you're not blamed for love you've tried
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
'Til you open your heart without bleeding
Take your open heart everywhere
I have tried without ceasing
To give love without regret
And I know love is not through with me yet
Can you hold a place within your breast
For someone you've never met__
I guess love's not through with you
And love's not through with me
I know love's not through with us yet
