Let’s say a heart for a heart 
Then maybe a laugh for a laugh
This but all seems the norm
In a world where love fails
In a world where cruelty reigns 
This is the  norm of compromise
You give I take I give You take 
When will the madness end?
When will we just be us? 
For the mere purpose of love

The sun and the moon
Darkness and then light
A day will be followed by a night
It’s an endless struggle
For who comes in first
Who is going to give in first?
Who are you going to trust?
Who is going to trust you?
When is the madness coming to end?
For some semblance of love?

So then others are crying
And it follows that others are laughing
Some are famished
And then others are fattened!
You find yourself wanting
But then not wanting to give
Don’t you know how it is?
Don’t you know it’s just the way it is?
Or are you going to end the madness?
And let love reign?
