Humble in the light from above Standing in the shadow of love Rock of ages; who can I be? Where am I, and what will I see? So just give me your love (Give me your love) Give me your hate (Give me your hate) It's a young man's time And time won't wait Oh! Just give me your love Silenced by the lust of your plans Caught up in the hatred of man A darker side will persecute me And God help you if I'm all you need So just give me your love (Give me your love) Give me your hate (Give me your hate) It's a young man's time And time won't wait Oh! Just give me your love You can tell just by the state I'm in I didn't know where this thing Ends or where it begins I can see just by the look In her eyes She's laid out, ready and willing Or maybe she's just hypnotized It's a simple mission
