lyrics

There is no love in this so-called freedom

Where commitment has become a thing of the past
and all that matters is if you're having fun
'Cos as quick as those feelings can walk through that door
they turn around and leave you hungry for more

the next fling, the next high,
the next girl to tell you you're the right guy
Boredom pervades our fickle living
where we seek newness as if the old held no meaning

Freedom has become the loosing of all restraints
with the disclaimer that my actions affect no one.
Yet this freedom has unleashed a monster that inflicts the wounds
of a thousand self-gratified encounters

Love is a commitment
to something greater than myself

Love is a commitment
to something greater than myself
and this something releases me
to inhabit hope

Love is a commitment
to someone other than myself
and this other releases me
to receive love…

to receive love…
to move past just a nameless face
to someone, who in all their deepest insecurities…, is known
