Thousand Years

thousand years

for a thousand thousand thousand years
wrapped in love with all its tears
we've travelled time's deep ocean span
we've been woman, we've been man

we've been children filled with awe
we've seen peace and we've seen war
we've been religion's slaves and fools
love love love alone it rules

when our hearts and minds are freed
feeling love is all we need
from our mothers, fathers too
from each other, me and you

wrapped in love with all its tears
a thousand thousand thousand years
time's deep ocean, awake asleep
it's you I love, it's you I keep

coming back again to see
coming back again it's we
who keep returning to become
together once more to be one
