From the recording The World Is Full Of Longing
I wanted to write a song about the human condition and the temptations that may beckon at different stages of our lives. The result is,"The World Is Full Of Longing,"--initially titled,"Tango Of Life"--in which I couple a sensuous rhythm with a soul-searching theme.
Lyrics
The world is full of longing
For love and for belonging,
For beauty, wealth and power,
For immortality.
It's only when you look back
You see where you have lost track
Of what your soul desires--
Your true identity.
The future holds the answers.
If we could only see
The way in which our actions
Affect humanity!
When young, you are in rapture,
With nothing to recapture.
By living for the moment,
You feel that you are free.
And everything is new, then.
And everything is you, then.
In time you come to terms with
Responsibility.
The future holds the answers.
If we could only see
The way in which our actions
Affect humanity
It's time for meditation
On our unique creation--
How what we have to offer
Becomes our legacy.
