you cant steal it and it cant be bought
keep trying to find it and I come up short
deep inside I have a good idea
I cant describe it but I know its there
I’m turning my back on the urge to fight
I want do good and I want to do right
no hesitating or saying, ‘I might’
I’m committing to love
now I wouldn’t claim to know the thing to do
I’m just someone who wants to see it through
and we’ve a lot in common, me and you
committing to love
back in the sixties for a little while
peace and love became the latest style
but what I speak of’s not a paisley shirt
its at the heart of every grain of dirt
I’m turning my back….
I’m only human I cant help myself
my good intentions lead me somewhere else
and once again I wind up in a cage
consumed with sorrow, tears and rage
I’m turning my back….
