these are similar principles
but will they achieve the same goal
when they're both put to work
in a smile empty soul
a vain guise, uninvincible
inwardly bezerk
like Victoria Principle
such beautiful work
you're attractive to me
and I hope that you see
I don't mean to dissect
or show you disrespect
my desire's to protect
you say it's not sin
if there's beauty within
I say with a grin
"there and back again"
it's a coded reminder
it's in view of the blinders
I speak it to me
of the keepers and finders
loser weepers to be
how the ears cannot hear
everything I revere
but there's love and my dear
it can drive away fear
I can't try and pretend
there's no truth to defend
it defines in the end
all that love looks like, friend!
so I'll say it again
hey! we're all mortal men!
I must stay in the trend
"there and back again"
if we both told our dream
took our views to extreme
in the Buddhist regime
we might fight, kick and stream
and still no harm is done
there is moon, there is sun
there is night and there's day
it's all balanced, you'd say
so there can be no wrong
nothing doesn't belong
it is free of all blame
evil, good, it's the same...
with no wrong and no right
we'd be locked in a fight
tugged and pushed
pulled and tooshed
and the way that some say it's just play
pain that they must obey to convey
what comes down
to the ground
where they lay in frey of their gray
ooh delay
ooh delay
won't you advance into the truth with me
can't we look to the light joint cohesively
I know if you could only see
the One who Lives eternally
the One who gives unselfishly
there's good enough in you to be
respondent to this destiny
I know the way we cling to mend
I know there's heartache to defend
I know what keeps distracts and then
I tell myself "there and back again"
I can't just blurt it out to you
I must respect your point of view
the right to choose the things you do
but there's one word before we're through
it's love
and joy
and peace
it's patience employed
at least
it's goodness (as true love defines)
it's gentleness
meekness (an open mind)
it's temperance (milestones left behind)
and faith -- like sight unto the blind
against this word there is no law
no inward evil, hidden flaw
it's love defined by sense of awe
the place I pray our path will draw
