(Lisa Palas/George Teren)
It seems like we've been lovers since the start of time
This kind of do or die don't happen overnight
It would be an understatement to say
I'm obsessed
Since I live and breathe for your touch girl
I'm more then just a little
More then just a little in love
I'm more than just a little
More then just a little in love
I carved your name on the sycamore in my front yard
I got your picture taped to the dash of my car
You can say that my behavior's adolescent at best
But this ain't no school boy crush girl
I'm more then just a little
More then just a little in love
I'm more than just a little
More then just a little in love
More and more I'm less and less
Inclined to hold my feeling's back
And I've got love that's in excess
Of anything your heart could (ever)ask
It would be an understatement to say
I'm obsessed
Since I live and breathe for your touch
I'm more then just a little
More then just a little in love
I'm more than just a little
More then just a little in loveI want a voice
I want a deep, resonant, effortless voice
A big voice - bigger than me
I want to speak and hear the floorboards take it up
so that people hear me first with their bodies,
and only then with their ears
a voice, strong like an axe to cut through the silence
strange like distant flutes, to still the senses
a voice to quicken the heart like drums in the night
I want to breathe a whisper that shivers like a star
over some strange bethlehem on some cold stone
circling some distant sun
I want a voice like the voice of many
the voice of a people
the voice of a nation
and with this voice I would cry freedom
and then I would speak peace
