-LYRICS-

"One above
Heaven under
One for thirst
One for hunger

I am the dark
You are the thunder
I am the doubt
You are the wonder

Since time began
You've been the long time man
And mama ain't it grand
That I get to be the fool again
I get to be the fool again

I close my eyes and I see you dancing
Do you see me when you close yours too
'Cause every kiss that I don't give
Is another life that I don't live
And mama it's so much sweeter when I do, hey

Love
Is light ignited
And everyone
Is invited

But if you don't ever try
How can you give it one more try
If you don't ever ever try
How can you give it one more try
Give it one more try

I close my eyes and I see you dancing
Do you see me when you close yours too
'Cause every kiss that we don't give is another life that we don't live
And mama it's so much sweeter when we do

.....Rats"

This is not in anyway "Copyright Infringement"
I am not selling this or making any kind of profit off this video/song.
I don't own this video/song.
I am also not labeling this video as my own.
I only uploaded this video/song for the liking of the song for personal desire to share with everyone on the site. Fill free to copy this video or song and spread it around.

On a side note, due to the videos attention which I find awesome, ads have found their way to this video. If I can remove them I would, but since that's how youtube and other corporations make their money there's not much I can do. The reason why I mention this is because I loathe forced commercialism especially on videos you upload after they get "hits" or Viacom and Warner Bros Records just finds and matches the songs ID tag for copyright purposes. Music or films loose their artistic merit when drenched in pointless irrelevant advertising (yeah I'm looking at you VEVO) and it doesn't matter if the user, musician, filmmaker, or blogger likes it or not the ads must be prevalent to desensitize the masses and subsidize the greedy. I digress, my whole spiel and point is -- Music shouldn't be about the money.

My mom suddenly started to dance like a hippie when i turned this tune on and she said:

My lovelyy son I didn't know you listened to this kind of music from the seventies, It sounds so much like led zeppelin!
