The Ego Confuses Love With Other Things
by Jon Locketti
“The Ego Confuses Love With Other Things”
V: Love is not a word
And love is not a song
But everybody knows
When it comes along
Ch: Love is the greatest gift to give or receive
The secret to life is, “love will never leave”
V: Love is present all the time
No matter what your feelings say
The opposite of love is fear
True, it can get in the way
Ch:
Bridge: Love is always underneath
Keeping constant, like a beating drum
The ego confuses love with others things
Of all these things, love does not equate to one
Ch:
V: Love is not a word
Although sometimes we think of it that way
And love is not a song
Yet we sing to feel okay
Ch:
Bridge:
Ch:
“Foolish Pride”
V: I got a foolish pride
I wanna run and hide
From you
You're taking me
For granted you see
And I'm miserable now
Ch: I'm pretty sure
We slammed a few doors
Why not kiss and make up
V:
Ch: I'm gonna be
A big boy now
Forget petty things
“How I Feel About You Now”
V: Gonna write a song
So I don't forget
How I feel about you now
You're the wonderful one
That I have come
To know all about
Br: There's more than meets the eye
The eye is met with a smile
I need you
You know I need you so much
V:
Outro: You're the kind of woman that makes it easy to feel loved
You're the kind of woman that makes me feel one
You're the kind of woman I want to be with 'til I die
You're the kind of woman for this guy
“Social Worker Girl”
V: Concern, burden, weight
Weighing heavy on your mind
Your job and your goals
Your road blocks and your lack of time
Pre: Your job is never done (x4)
Ch: For the... Social worker girl
Social justice girl
V: You're on an uphill battle
The system gets you frazzled
The people know your struggles
Multiplied by the hour
Pre:
Ch:
V: Code of ethics
You must practice
Continued education
Massive amounts of patience

“Hi”

Little one
Stay there
Please do not run

“Elaine”
V: Elaine, are you a little bit insane?
Does your life feel so strange?
Are you listening, Elaine?
Elaine, does the memory remain?
Are you feeling any pain?
Is that you calling me again?
Ch: And I will pray you'll be okay, Elaine (x2)
V: Elaine, I know that I am not to blame
Needn't be ashamed
Nor do I need to explain why
Br: Elaine, says to pray. “Pray for me.” (x2)
Elaine, I will pray that you'll be okay
“Step 1”
V: Step 1: Figure out why you're here
Step 1 may take many years
Ch: I know
V: Step 2: Figure out who loves you
Step 2 may not be so easy
Ch:
V: Step 3: Figure out what you need
Step 3 must be done honestly
Ch:
“Burning Embrace”
V: Think of me
As a rock
Unflinching
Through the fire burning
“Deeply Mysterious”
V: I don't know why I can't get back up
All I want is to write a song
All I want to do
Is sing my song to you
V: You came to me
You came in July
Changed my life girl
Opened up the sky
Now all I want to do
Is give my heart to you
Br: She's deeply mysterious
No one knows what she does
When she's all by herself
Her voice is so soft and sweet
When I'm with her
My heart is at peace
Her life is so close to mine
I think of her
Most all of the time
V: Now all I want to do
Is give my heart to you
“Not Even In A Dream”
V: Not even in a dream
Could I have dreamt of someone like you
You are my love
I hold you up above everything
Cannot believe I found
A love so profound
“There's Nothing Easy About Love”
V1: There's nothing easy about love
It takes guts
It takes courage
It takes more, but
Don't be discouraged
You've got time
You've got patience
You've got more
What are you waiting for?
V2: There's nothing easy about love
It takes much
It takes so much
It takes all that you got
You've got what it takes
Everyone does
What are you waiting for?
Ch: There's so much more To this life
You can hold on to your suffering
Or let is all dissipate
There is nothing moreI would hate
Than to see you waste
Your sweet, irreplaceable time
V1:
“Live For Today”
V: If you ever want to know what I think
Just ask
If you can't remember what it is
I said
Just ask
Ch: And I'll say, “Live for today”
You can't be sure of anything
Nothing is certain
So, live for today
