I Need Love
LESLIE A PHILLIPS
I left my conscience like a crying child
Locked the door behind me
Put the pain on file
Broken like a window
I see my blindness now
I need love
Not some sentimental prison
I need God
Not the political church
I need fire
To melt the frozen sea inside me
I need love
Driving into town, tired and depressed
Like a flare, the streetlight
Bursts into an SOS
Peace comes to my rescue
I don't know what it means
I need love
