Lotus Land

It’s a wonder that I’m still alive today
I don't deserve the love you send my way
I watch in wonder as you light the world
You take a grain of sand and make a pearl
I’ve walked this path a time or two before,
And now I’m here to try myself once more
It took a while but now I understand
That you can light my way to Lotus Land 

The world has left us little to believe,
Too many talkers’ tongues set to deceive
So few things left that we can truly know
But with you I left delusion long ago
Is it wrong for me to feel such deep desire?
Can love consume a hungry heart like fire?
Can it be wrong to take this lover’s hand
And lead me through the dark to Lotus Land? 

I searched the East, I searched the West,
I searched through blizzards and desert storms
I searched the least, I searched the best,
I searched through all my soul's reforms,
And I've been informed
That there ain’t no one like you 

I woke up from a nightmare in the gloom
I was left alone inside my shattered room
I called your name but no one did reply
Except a voice that said, "Prepare to die."
The future seems appalling in the night
Tell me, will it kiss or will it bite?
Without your love it’s hard for me to stand
So, honey, light my way to Lotus Land
