Love...
We'll break our shelter in the morning sun;
My love...
We'll still be standing when tomorrow comes,
When tomorrow comes...

To some people
My love is somewhat alien;
When he comes up, they start subject-changing, and
In some states he's seen as some contagion -
In those zones, he stays subterranean;
Some love my love; they run parades for him:
Liberal citizens lead the way for him:
Same time as some countries embracing him,
Whole faiths and nations seem ashamed of him:
They've tried banning him,
God-damning him,
Toe-tagging him,
Prayed that he stayed in the cabinet,
But my love kicked in the panelling, ran for it -
He's my love! Can't be trapping him in labyrinths! -
Maverick, my love is; he thwarts challenges;
The cleverest geneticists can't fathom him,
Priests can't defeat him with venomous rhetoric;
They'd better quit; my love's too competitive:
He's still here, despite the Taliban, the Vatican,
And rap, ragga in their anger and arrogance,
Who call on my love with lit matches and paraffin -
Despite the fistfights and midnight batterings -
My love's still here and fiercely battling,
My love's still here and fiercely battling,

Because my love comes through anything
My love comes through anything;
My love comes through anything...

Love...
We'll break our shelter in the morning sun;
My love...
We'll still be standing when tomorrow comes,
When tomorrow comes...

Love...
We'll break our shelter in the morning sun;
[Despite the fistfights and midnight batterings]
We'll still be standing when tomorrow comes -
[My love's still here and fiercely battling]

Love...
We'll break our shelter in the morning sun;
[Despite the fistfights and midnight batterings]
We'll still be standing when tomorrow comes -
[My love's still here and fiercely battling]

Love...
We'll break our shelter in the morning sun;
[Despite the fistfights and midnight batterings]
We'll still be standing when tomorrow comes -
[My love's still here and fiercely battling]

Love...
We'll break our shelter in the morning sun;
[Despite the fistfights and midnight batterings]
We'll still be standing when tomorrow comes -
[My love's still here and fiercely battling]

On this day
We break our shelter
Dry our tears
And ride on....

On this day
We break our shelter
Dry our tears
[Love]
and ride on...
