Plan To Marry - Lucinda Williams

When leaders can’t be trusted

When heroes let us down

And innocence lies rusted

Frozen beneath the ground

And the destitute, isolated

Have all been forgotten

And the fruit trees we planted

Are withered and rotten

The abused and magnificent

Suffer from infection

And the promises were given

But never with intention

War becomes common place

Secrets overheard

And violence, big business

And love is just a word

Why do we marry?

Why do we fall in love?

Keep on believing in love

Because love

Love is a mighty sword

Love is our weapon

Love is the lesson

And we

We are the conquerors

We are the soldiers

We are the lovers

That’s why we fall in love

That’s why we believe in love

And that’s why we marry
