naked lovers feel the blood beneath their 
veins 
electric nerves communicate 
with tiny explosions through our brains 
who is this energy that never left or 
came? 
give rise to passion the only glory 
of this human story 

I give my heart and soul to the one 

we spend all of our lives goin' out of our 
minds 
looking back to our birth  forward to our 
demise 
even scientists say  everything is just 
light 
not created, destroyed but eternally 
bright 
masters in everytime lord in everyplace 
those who stood up for love down in spite 
of the hate 
in spite of the hate 

who put the flower in the barrel of that 
gun? 
who lit the candle that started the fire, 
burnt down the fortress, the throne? 
who could house all the refugees in a 
single shack 
or a lowly bungalow? 
who lives in a different dimension, free 
from the 
struggles we know? 

I give my heart and soul to the one 

we spend all of our lives goin' out of our 
minds 
looking back to our birth, forward to our 
demise 
even scientists say, everything is just 
light 
not created, destroyed but eternally 
bright 
masters in everytime lord in everyplace 
those who stood up for love down in spite 
of the hate 
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our 
minds 
they live in the light 

we made it to the moon 
but we can't make it home 
waitin' on a rescue that never comes 
made it to the moon 
but we can't make it home 
maybe home is where the heart is given 
up 
to the one 
to the one 

we spend all of our lives goin' out of our 
minds 
lookin' back to our birth, forward to our 
demise 
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our 
minds 
they live, they 

they stood up for love 
stood up for love 
stood up for love 
they stood up for love 
stood up for love 
stood up for love 

we spend all of our lives goin' out of our 
minds 
masters in everytime 
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our 
minds 
stood up for love
