Joyful Love

Written by Sheri Miller

We bit our tongues, tasted the blood
We swallowed words, inhaled like breath in our lungs
We cast our gaze away to the skies
Curtains on our souls, drawing the blinds

Did you know, babe, did you know
You cross my mind
Only every single day, each morning and all of the time

I will love you deeper than an ocean
Stronger than a river ragin’ by
I will love you longer than a mountain
Rises up from the sands of, sands of time
I will not hide, I will not hide
From this joyful love in your eyes

We covered ears, deaf and dumb
To the magnificence we’d become
We silenced hearts, in jails we made
Afraid our emotions were grenades

Can you feel babe, can you feel
It’s always been you
City names that you claim, they may change, you pass through

Words unspoken
Hands on our hearts
Feelings we hold in
Won’t keep up apart
This time I’m speaking
Speaking out loud
These arms were made to hold you
That’s what I’m gonna do right now
