LOVE IS OUR CROSS TO BEAR
“Love Is Our Cross To Bear” is a song by John Gorka from his album “Land Of the Bottom Line”. A song with many possibilities – different for each listener.
The act of loving someone can be a painful process. Loving some one puts our heart in the open where it can be more easily hurt. The things people sometimes do to hurt one another hurt more when it is done by someone we love. Like bearing a cross we bear all the wory and pain that goes into loving and caring for someone. However life would not be worth living with out love. A life with out love is not truely a life lived.
I didn’t know where to look for you last night
I didn’t know where to find you
I didn’t know how I could touch that light
That’s always gathering behind you
I didn’t know that I would find a way
To find you in the morning
But love can pull you out of yesterday
As it takes you without warning
I want to be a long time friend to you
I want to be a long time known
Not one of your memory’s used-to-bes
A summer’s fading song
Chorus: It’s from me, it’s to you
For your eyes
It’s a weight, a wonder that is wise
I am here, you are there
Love is our cross to bear
I know I’ll think of us upon that hill
With the golden moon arising
And the stars will fall around us still
While the love is realizing
And so it is until we meet again
And I throw my arms around you
You can count the gray hairs in my head
I’ll still be thankful that I found you
(Chorus)
