Cost of Love

I've written songs
To dream where we belong
To see a day when we come together
I hope it doesnt take too long...

Stuck in the spider web
Of aspirations strong...
Glued to places away...
Mundane life takes us along...

When will the day be
When we break free...
Of shackles that bind us down
to this lonely town...

The helplessness is excruciating...
The failed attempts and broken dreams
Why can't we shape our destiny
to find true happiness and sanity


I pray for patience
I pray for strength
To wait till the moment comes
Of the balanced equations and perfect sums

I question every day that passes
Is it just a dream from which one wakes up?
Never was I so lost ...
I guess Love does have a cost...
