about

An hopeful answer to darkness and division.

lyrics

Write my name in the book of love and if there is a god above
Even that old man would smile and say it’s good
Write it in letters big and bold - Do it before I get too old
A hardened heart is seldom understood

Company isn’t hard to find. Fantasy plays with the mind
I won’t offer any judgment or any blame
Let me choose who I need to choose. Let me risk what is mine to lose
Grant me that, and I’ll offer you the same

Let me have my turn -- to let that passion burn
Gonna write my name, my name in the book of love (2x)

Let me say when I’m 95, I know what it means to be alive
I don’t regret any path I took
And if you stand in my way I have the grace to smile and say:
“Step aside, ‘cause my name is in that book”

Let me have my turn -- to let that passion burn
Give me one more chance -- To learn that sacred dance
Let write my name, my name in the book of love (2x)

There’s good books, big books, golden books delivered by angels
If you believe in messages from above
But the only book where a mention really matters
Is the famous, foolish, fickle book of love.

Write it in letters ten feet high. I won’t wait for the ink to dry
It takes a lifetime or happens in a flash
And if my name starts to fade away The fire inside will always stay
May this ember never turn to ash
