The Offering Paroles

And I've only been bruised
When I've refused to get out of my way
So I wouldn't stop the rain
No I wouldn't stop the rain
What good would it do?

And I wouldn't trade the pain
Or mess with the math that created the path
That eventually led to you, my love,
I give you my love

And when I say love
I mean a love that will stay love
Through every change that could betray love
The vicissitudes of time
I mean mature love, unconditional and pure love
The kind of love I feel with your love
I want you to feel with mine.

And if I had to do it over now Despite the pain that reach would bring
I would still say 'yes' to life and love
And accept the offering

And I wouldn't stop the sun
No I wouldn't stop the sun
What good would it do?
And I would rather stand than run
And squarely face the warmth and grace
Of a blessing when it comes, my love,
I give you my love.

And when I say love – I mean a love that will stay love
Through every change that could betray love
The vicissitudes of time
I mean mature love, unconditional and pure love
The kind of love I feel with your love
I want you to feel with mine.
