Someone To Adore

I’m not a complicated man
I’m not that hard to understand
I need what everybody needs
Down in my simple soul I bleed
For what the world is yearning for
Someone to adore
Someone to adore
The song that swells in every beating human heart
The theme that throbs in every classic work of art
The drive that draws a man to churches -- and to whores
Someone to adore
Somewhere a man is on his knees
His wife is dying by degrees
He calls to God and tries to trust
As another woman stirs his lust
He hates his weakness to the core
For someone to adore
Someone to adore
He can’t believe his prayers for healing co-exist
With dark desires to feel a stranger’s vibrant kiss
The roots are twisted but the limbs are stretching toward
Someone to adore
Primal and constant the infinite streams find the shore
The source of perfect peace the cause of every savage war
Someone to adore
Last night I woke in the waning moon
I felt my mother in the room
She said the world must hear your voice
Don’t be afraid you have a choice
In how you open up the door
To someone to adore
Someone to adore
And so I sing tonight, my voice is reaching out
Out through the walls and past the jagged rocks of doubt
Beyond my limits I can feel my spirit soar
With someone to adore
