Oh, i have seen the young girls cry
Thinking love has passed them by
They're struggling with a heavy load
But if love's not here, it's down the road

And i have seen the young men run
Just like their father's father's son
They take the love and leave the shame
Oh, but one day love will call their name and say

Can you love without needing
Lift it up as a silent prayer
Can you open your heart without bleeding
Take that open heart everywhere
Can you hold a place within your breast
For someone you've never met
Well then, love's not through with you yet

Well, i have climbed to lover's lane
I felt the joy, i felt the pain
Asking for another's soul
Thinking they could make me whole

Now i heard a voice from deep inside
Saying you're not blamed for love you tried
Oh, you may think that love takes two
But love's a gift from you to you

Can you love without needing
Lift it up as a silent prayer
Can you open your heart without bleeding
Take that open heart everywhere
And i have tried without ceasing
To give love without regret
I know love's not through with me yet

Can you hold a place within your breast
For someone you've never met
Then love's not through with you
I said love's not through with me
I know love's not through with us yet
