I Know What It’s Like to Be Loved

[Verse 1]
They say that the body is not of a durable kind
Just cosmic pedestrians destined as bones in the ground
While we and our fortunes are gathering dust
We yearn for a hope that would lay those assumptions to rest
Well I know where that hope lives
And I know what it's like to be loved

[Verse 2]
Hate is a swindler and often we know we've been had
We do unto others, then run with a leisurely laugh
And when we've had all our barbarian fun
We yearn for a heart that would soften like wax in the sun
Well I know about forgiveness
And I know what it's like to be loved

[Verse 3]
Oh shall we lie dormant with no everlasting exchange?
With no fascination beyond the terrestrial range?
As our inheritance seems swept out to sea
We ache with a knowledge that that's not the way it should be
Well I know that's not the way it is
And I know what it's like to be loved

[Outro]
Well I know that's not the way it is
And I know what it's like to be loved
Well I know that's not the way it is
And I know what it's like to be loved
