Love is the ultimate power

Matt Starking 1987 (Africa)



love is the ultimate power
even though I am superior
I will not make you inferior
neither will I not
take of you an advantage
even though I am
of an older age
but to give you courage
according to your wish
lease I perish
but love must establish
that it will be your wiliness
I will not take your kindness
to be your weakness
why will I make you cry
I will pardon your life
than to see you die
I will take you high
as grapes are for wine
so are you mine
come with me
and everything will be fine
