Cause you might receive

But if you ask me tomorrow

I’ll say the same thing

If you give me half a chance

I‘ll prove this to you

To a man who loves music

A man who loves art

Respect’s the spirit world

And thinks with his heart

And do the best that I can

Here with a offering of

My voice

My Eyes

My soul

My mind

Tell me what is enough

To prove I am ready...... for love

I am ready
