TOO MUCH IS MORE THAN WISH
SHARING WITH THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE
A LITTLE IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK
WHEN NONE IS WHAT I HAVE
KINDNESS GIVEN
WILL LET ME HAVE MY WISH

LOVE
ITSELF
NEVER

AWAKE

THERE IS NO WRONG TIME TO LOVE
IT NEEDS YOUR HEART
TO KEEP IT GOING
IT'S  ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU TO FEEL
IT'S ALWAYS  LOVE

LOOK AT ALL THAT COMES TO BEAR
EACH WILL SHOW YOU WHAT YOU FEEL
ONE TEAR WILL SHOWER ALL YOUR CARES
ONE HEART WILL HOLD IT FOR THE YEARS
