To Give Our Love

In the dark
in the time before the day
when all the work begins
There are thoughts
always running in your mind
whatever state you’re in

We take what we are given
and use what we may find
and if I’m not mistaken
we still have some time—to give our love

I was lost
and beset upon by troubles
everywhere I turned
and still, in the quiet of the sadness
I can find the will

We take what we are given
and use what we may find
and if I’m not mistaken
we still have some time—to give our love

Take it to your heart
you don’t have to know
you don’t have to answer, to anyone
That’s the way it is
That’s the way it is—for now

I can tell
that there will always be a reason
for the loss we feel
but we know
that in everything we notice
only love is real

We take what we are given
and use what we may find
and if I’m not mistaken
we still have some time—to give our love

We take what we are given
and use what we may find
and if I’m not mistaken
we still have some time—to give our love
