LOVE IS BORN

You can catch a lobster in the ocean

That’s almost too delicious to consume

Extract the oils from the petals

To make a sweet and delicate perfume

You can even direct the lightning 

And utilize the power of the sun

You can do most anything you want to

The capable can do it all but one

~~~*Chorus*~~~

You can’t create love

No matter what you do

Intertwining souls

Is not up to you

It’s your essence clearly exposed

You can attempt to make it happen

But you won’t be even close

It will drive you mad

It will leave you torn

You can’t create love

Because love 

Is born

~~*~~

You can pluck the ripened fruit of a grape vine

Age a wine that you feel sinful to drink

Graft a rose bush until it’s so exquisite

Master gardeners won’t know what to think

You can find yourself a precious emerald

The river sands may bear you platinum

Such treasures are laced with our existence

The determined can find them all but one

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
You can't find love, It must find you
Though there are props and substitutes
You hold out, for when it comes
You'll give up everything for love
It's raw truth in holy form
You can't fake love
Love is Born
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
You can’t create love
No matter what you do
Intertwining souls
Is not up to you
It’s your essence clearly exposed
You can attempt to make it happen
But you won’t be even close
It will drive you mad
It will leave you torn
You can’t create love
Because love 
Is born
~~*~~
