about

As Nina Simone once said, 'I mean every word of it'

lyrics

I try to love daily
That’s my morning and afternoon’s work
But by the evening I’m so numb
That I don’t have a sense of it’s worth

I’ve been failing lately
To advance since my birth
My new one borne of pain
Not of love like the first

Oh the pain of being someone
Who’s got seeing as her curse
The curse of always turning out
A hypocrite or worse

It’s getting harder to tell
What is good, what is bad
While we sleep through this hell
Taking from the mothers
While I fail myself

I’ve been feeling too weak
To make myself strong
To feel all this pain
And keep the love flowing on

I hope I can grow my roots
So deep down in the ground
That I’ll share my love
Like trees a’dropping leaves up all around

I’ll be a Love Facilitator
We can be Love Facilitators
Let’s all be Love Facilitators

Just remember what your mamma taught ya
And oh if she never taught ya
Well baby maybe well you oughta just look a little broader

Cause love is the answer
And love is the proof
And love is the thing
That we need to induce
Love is the hope
That we feel amongst the waste
So let love be the medal
And love can be our race

Let’s all be Love Facilitators
Come on with me, sing it - Love Facilitators
Just remember what your mamma taught ya

We could be happy, won’t you agree
If we could just share our love freely…
