We can look at history
and we see a history of breaking
or being broken
we can look at each other
and we see another face lined with pain
with tears waiting to be dried
but does the future have to be this way
is love only a weapon to use
to harm yourself or someone else
is true love only built on truth
that I find beyond myself
does it always have to end in heartbreak
if I really know the love of God
will it change who I am
so that I am willing to love you more
if you are willing to look higher
will it change who you are
so that you can love me despite of who I am
and as we join in this struggle
will we form a union greater
than two people
broken by imperfection
as we find healing
can we help others find the same thing
will this be a happy ending
