about

I wrote this song a few years ago. It another one of those songs that just happened.

It's not session after session refining and re-working. It just came out and changed very little over time.

It calls upon a the of person that chooses love as a way of relating to the world.

I advocate for love as a relationship that doesn't require another, it is an attitude. And this new world I envision is one that tends towards harmony, health and happiness.

This song celebrate love as a way of being.

lyrics

We build up from the broken
all the pieces that have fallen down.

And we will build them up, raise them up, make them strong,
Give them life, give them love, where they belong.

Your love is strong.

We will build an empire with our love.

So don't stop dreaming, don't stop seeking, don't stop believing.
Leave it behind, all the pieces that have left you blind
and you will find that deep inside there is a love and a light and it always shines when you look inside.

Let your love light shine.

We will build an empire with our love.
Burning brightly are the embers of your heart fire
You radiant one, you life giving sun, show the way.

I know I belong, you belong, we belong together.
