Love's a jewel
That's at least what they say
It would not be proper for me living in another's service
To indulge in such a luxury as love

But hey I say listen to my voice
And in the end you'll obey
Let your heart loose and set your spirit free
Although I was brought here as a child by strangers

I still bless my luck every day
For every breathe I can take
For every step I can make
For every mistake in which I don't take part

The river's waters flow with might
Taking stones and mud
My heart's the same
It is her to blame

The one I love who makes me tick
A clock shows the hour to be late
But, I know it's fate
You and me forever we will be

Happiness, it is so scarce
In rations it comes
Just like the soldiers who
Do battle

The cannons roar
The smell of gun powder is prevalent everywhere
The blood overflows the field
I raise my head to the heavens
I try to pray

My payer is not headed,
Which is of course not a surprise
It just makes me realize it was meant to be.
