I WILL LOVE YOU
I WILL LOVE YOU When we wake up, by the banks of the Black Nile You're my Queen of the Nile, We’ll share home and hunt our daily meals with crocodiles …but still, I will love you When you're Helen When I’m Paris, 10 year war, 50 000 warriors Over a thousand ships We’ve caused a greatest war in Greece …but still I will love you When we are homeless Our home is the cave, When we crave, we'll make love on the rocks, behind the falls of the “Mosi-Oa-Tunya” Falls …but still, I will love you When I’m “… a King that loves his country so much, every splinter of every grass and every grain in the sand…” I own nothing, only a single grain of wheat, in my hand …but still I will love you When we’re in greatest droughts African Amarula trees, Can no longer bare fruits We’ll feed in their roots When lakes are dried out, in mornings we’ll drink dew …but still, I will love you When we inhale, exhale, our breaths stink in humid late evenings, sleeping under the stars listening from the far, to tight strings of a Spanish guitar When we’re street beggars, in the ghettos of Mexico …but still I will love you Outlawed, outcast’d, banned and exiled, no longer loved When we have nothing Nothing at all, but our souls …yet still, I…hey, will YOU love me? Whoa! Whoa! Whoa... let me wear my armor first before y’all start throwing stones at me… Ok, (close my eyes)…I’m ready. And yeah … I’ll explain all this later, if I survived the stoning that is!
