Learning to Love Lyrics

One day I was busy digging the pit

That I’m bound to fall into one of these days

And I thought to myself that there’s more in all this

Than passing the hours and trying to get paid

So I taught a few lessons

I met a few cats

I planted some flowers

And I tried to relax

I listened to voices that came from above

And I learned a few things about love

One day I was angry that life was too hard

So I cursed all the gods I could find

But I realized I didn’t know all of their names

But I’ll always remember mine

So I sought to stay humble

And I wrote a few poems

I signed lots of letters

And I rebuilt my home

I opened my mind and I saw all the doves

And I learned a few things about love

Many days I feel lonely, it seems like I’m lost

Like no one can hear my heart sing

But I write and revise and I will realize

The phrase that was destined to ring

I agree to be open

I hope to stay free

I wish to keep growing

As I dream the new me

I’m trying on a few new pairs of gloves

And I’m learning some things about love

I’ll give what thrills me

The love that fills me

There’s no greater power

There’s no better hour

We can all share the goodness

When the fear becomes broken

We can care for each other

If we hear what’s been spoken

We’ll find a new truth where our spirit’s the same

Where we forget our fictions and speak our true names

We’ll build things of beauty side by side with our brothers

When we remember to love one another

I know we can do it

If we give it our hearts

We’ll find the right path

If we get the right start

We can offer a smile and share a sweet song

We can carry each other and whistle along

I’m gonna keep trying

There’s still so much to find

The journey is a blessing

And there’s always more time

To learn a few things about love
