My Greatest Desire
I long for some piece of mind
I hope it's love that I find
Love from the girl to be my wife
Love from my God who gave me life
Both are there in times of strife
Two key parts to the meaning of life
I have the love of who made my mold
I lack the love of her with whom I'll grow old
I'll love God fully to my dying day
By my side she will be when I go I pray
To find my wife is one great desire
The biggest of all "Lord Re-Light My Fire"
For all is lost if I don't have you
You never lost faith in me you always knew
The man I am is not really me
I want to be who you want me to be
When I breath my last breath into your arms I'll run
As I stand in your embrace I'll cry out "I've Won"
For with you in my life I will never tire
Because you above all are my greatest desire
