Adore - Greg Laswell

If only I didn’t want the world

I wouldn’t make you feel so sad

I’m sure my shame would be gone

Is it human to adore life?

If only I’d hidden my lust

And starved a little bit more

If only I didn’t ask for more

Is it human to adore life?

I adore life

If only I’d lived beyond regret

I wouldn’t feel guilt for what I take

Is it human to ask for more?

Is it human to adore life?

I know evil when I see it

I know good and I just do it

If I hadn’t been so starved

Is it human to adore life?

I understand the urgency of life

In the distance there is truth which cuts like a knife

Maybe I will die maybe tomorrow so I need to say

I adore life

If only I had been more shy

And hid every tear I cried

If only I didn’t wish to die

Is it human to adore life?

If only I didn’t care so much

For the feel of your cold, cold touch

In every bed I leave behind

Is it human to adore life?

I understand the urgency of life

In the distance there is truth which cuts like a knife

Maybe I will die maybe tomorrow so I need to say

I adore life

I adore life

Do you adore life?
