What’s the word
What’s the word how are you babe? Can you hear me call yourname
Are you listening, are you sitting up; how long until youlight my flame
Where’s the lantern to light the path, I’m worried you’lllose your way in the dark
It’s long past time we fired the torch to march into ourunknown, where’s the spark
Now you need to push the envelope, take yourself out of parkbabe put it in drive
Join me for the best ride of our lives, and for the firsttime our together can come alive
What’s the word how are you babe? I hope everything is goingas we planned
Strong enough with a clear head, freed from the weight andfinally able to stand
Striking a wooden match across the rough days, a smirk tothe faded pain
Lighting the lamp that can never go dim, nor be extinguishedin a driving rain
It pulls you along at a quickening pace, raising all sortsof warnings and alarms
A cacophony of maddening distractions that will vanishinstantly in my arms
What’s the word how are you babe….I hope to hold you soon
