Good night everyone
If love cares let it find me
For on my personal pursuit
I'm yet to hit the spot
Where satisfaction bids me welcome
And all I desire is all I see
Good night everyone
If love cares let it come for me
It rises here and sets there
Perches on every roof but avoids my branch
Am I a caste or a forbidden omen
Why then is mine not coloured of the everyday colours, tell me.
Good night everyone
If love is real let it be true to me
Sacrifice has become my second name
But isn't it any more the principle of life
That what you sow is what you reap
Why can't reciprocation be the simple rule
For all I know,
If it's not reciprocated then someone else is milking it
Or it has mind for another
The spoken one is a lie from hell
Good night everyone
If love has a destination let it take me
For I've been to mine for the umpteenth time and back
Thinking with me I got a partner
But it has a mind of its own
And bears me not in its plans
I wonder if I'm there in its picture of tomorrow
The word, "I" haunts me
But I hear it often.
Oh love, what dream do you have for us apart from for yourself?
Good night everyone
Let me lie alone
I hear love and life go hand in hand
I hear life brings living and love gives reason
For this same cause I've layed my path
That life and love will abound with me
If love would be for and stay with me
If love is ever true and real
Let it let all go and cling to me
Then I'll wake to bid y'all a good morning.
And if not? Good night everyone.
