Born For Love - David Baerwald

Every morning when I rise

I wipe the sleep out from my eyes

Ask myself the question why oh why

Was I born

I go out wandering the ripped up streets

Bodies on the sidewalk huddling for heat

The whole world looking like some losing streak

Why was I born?

I get home and you’re not there

But your clothes are hanging and your scent’s in the air

If it ain’t an answer I don’t care

Why I was born

I was born to love you

I was born to love you

I was born for love

Last year I saw those pearly gates

Tried to shove my way through;

they said you gotta wait

You’ve got to get some questions straight

Like why you were born

They said what do you think, that it was made for you

Why should anyone care what it is you do?

The course gets set you got to see it through

That’s why you were born

I got up;

I saw them all

All God’s creatures great and small

It came in clear as a local call

Why I was born

I was born to love you

I was born to love you

I was born for love…
