lyrics

Some sail toward money, some sail toward pride
Some anchor on the boarders, some move with the tide
But any old storm can was you up on the sand
You say what is this foreign land, I love therefore I am

The heat hits you so heavy, you sweat all you drink
The smells they can choke you, sounds cloud all you think
But one thing will quench this thirsting I have
For I love therefore I am, I love therefore I am

It’s the glances we share from across the room
It’s the sound of joy or our impending doom
It’s the feeling we get when holding our hands
I love therefore I am, I love therefore I am

I can sell all I own and give all to the poor
I can have faith to move mountains, to cure sickness and sore
But lacking one thing it would all be a sham
For I love therefore I am, I love therefore I am

One day I’ll send you more than a postcard, give you more than my name
We’ll play music together, you can dance I will sing
That a person is worth more than they have
We’ll say we found our home again, I love therefore I am
We love therefore I am, you love therefore I am, I love therefore I am
