Sometimes We Find Love

Didn’t stop to wonder what the right thing is to do
Just tried my best to stumble on and find my own way through
The things that make you happy can also make you sad
The things you take for granted can sometimes turn out bad
Sometimes we find love — this we know is true
Looking for an outlet for dislocated dreams
You find yourself believing that nothing’s what it seems
They take you to the cleaners, nothing left to say
Just hope that you can jump the moat to fight another day
Sometimes we find love — this we know is true
Outside in the distance there’s a madman with a gun
You wouldn’t want to get too close he’ll shoot you just for fun
They say that no one valued him he thought that no one cared
Don’t look at that boy funny though you will not be spared
Sometimes we find love — this we know is true
Stratified and calcified we retreat to find the soul
The promise of salvation with happiness our goal
Purged of our illusions lifeplan a busted flush
We castigate we infiltrate before it turns to mush
Sometimes we find love — this we know is true
The bellicose the bumptious tell us where we all went wrong
We put 'em up on pedestals where they think that they belong
Established and entitled to rise above the fray
With sneering contempt for those who might see another way
Sometimes we find love — this we know is true
