you have lived

you have lived such a gentle life upon this earth

that i am stunned by your sight. if i could give but a token of the love you have

then i might not be this lonely tonight. let them have their smug and their cool

confined by fashion and peer. i love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere. i love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere. oh

there are so few brave one's like you. need i explain?

never wondering what to do

what to venture

what to gain. and

you have loved

in a total way

from flesh to soul. you speak

without coy without pose. your eyes can see that the emperor has lost his clothes. and what's more

you'll tell the whole world what he stole. let them have their fad and their fix

confined by fashion and peer. i love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere. i love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere.
