Is there more you can do for love?

Is there more you can do for love?
I was born with nothing
Stumbling around in the crevices of eternity.
Only the resigned and the wise
Where do we breathe in the age of the victors?
Rulers and gods are strangers to us all.
But you know what's really going on.
The magic of courage, of hope, of bonds.
They don't know how to use it, so they turn away.
And yet, you were still there that day.
I'm in the middle of all my righteousness.
The world turns its back on you, and you're still here.
You're still here, standing up to me.
Is there more love can do?
Is there more I can do?
You gave me the courage to do this, and I want to use it for you.
The love I share with you means nothing if it's not with you.
Is there more love can do?
Is there more I can do?
Fate, you mean, is it a roll of the dice?
Or is it God's usual whim?
Chosen to be the armor that cannot be taken off.
Or the far-reaching, unwavering will
Unfulfilled wishes, unfulfilled reunions, and
The unraveling misunderstandings, the hatred that piles up...
Voices of forgiveness and hands clasped together
This planet is still alive today.
Is there more love can do?
Is there more I can do?
You gave me the courage to do this, and I want to use it for you.
The love I grew up with, it's nothing if it's not with you.
Is there more love can do?
Is there anything more I can do?
Why let us dream when we have nothing?
Why do you make me hope for a life with an end?
Why do I keep giving you things that slip through my hands?
And still we cling. Are we ugly?
Or are you pretty? Answer me.
Love songs have been sung about it, told about it in countless movies.
I was born and bred in such a wilderness... and you...
There's still more love can do
There's still more I can do

The Silent Symphony of Unreturned Love

In shadows deep where lonely echoes dwell, A heart beats softly, bound by love’s own spell, Unseen, unheard, yet steadfast through the years...
