What Is Love
Come, I tell you
What is love
How is love
It is, but not sold in the markets
And nor grows on the trees
The brain is not its place
It does not care
Society's rules
It is as like the cooling air
If it stops, it is sticky
If it rises,
It becomes the storm
Its moment is silence
Its home is the heart
If it is the truth, it is a reward
If it is false, it is a penalty
It teaches the lessons, everyone
It can bring down the command
If it is the cure, it heals life
If it is poison, it brings death
Come, I tell you
What is love
How is love
