Manning Up To You

Manning Up To You

I know how much you love to see me laugh

But, please, let me be serious just once in a while

Let me be seriously in love, serious in this state of mind

And, in this seriousness, let my heart heal, let my heart smile

I know how you'd like to take control

To take over and make it your own game

But, please, give it all up, let it go and happen

My love, you are safe, here with me, I feel the same

I know, you are all impatient

Lacking time in all the time you have

But, please trust your chances, trust heaven

Things will be fine, in harmony, on your behalf

I'd like to go on the offensive betimes, ever and anon

Grab your sweet body, your universe, your precious being

Stick it in my experience, my hell and heaven, and my paradise

Would like to hear all you hear, feel the same, see what you're seeing

Darling, love is free like the horse in the prairie connected with other ones, free

Wanting to stay by your side, being led without any strings, without any fear

Deep down in the bottom of my soul, I can feel you, making bigger sense

Whether you are far away, absent - or terribly aware, terribly near

I know you love to be proactive, in the run-up for 

To move, to go on, and do and do and do

But, please, let me man up to you

Please, let me do you!

Thou Art. You are. Now, what?

Thou Art. You Are. Now, What?

The man is gone for you, for now, the one who 

Risked with courage and tried to convince

Looking at and up and for your love

Ever after, for now, ever since

The man's gone who trusted in you 

Because of him, because of God 

Denying himself and obeying 

A whole good deal of a lot 

That man was neglected, ignored and some mistrusted 

That man was ugly, even though unintentionally, hurt 

That man was a foolish dog, a slinky cat, then a tiger 

Now being some resolved "trying to fly away" bird 

Could it have been some better? 

Couldn't it even have been good? 

Couldn't he have been fortunate? 

Supposing, indeed, one could! 

What is left residual is the woman 

Fine, fragile, prideful and frighten 

Longing for her man to support 

Being precious and enlighten 

Longing to be convinced 

Longing to be found by clue 

Longing to be such surprised 

A better whole life through 

Sitting in between and behind her walls 

She's lonely but definitely secure 

She still has got love to give 

Heavenly, net and pure 

Could it have been better?

Could it have been that good? 

Could she even have succeeded?

 Yeah, yes, I guess, that she could? 

One person is so little 

But the being is very big 

And the hope is still alive 

For you, my God, to stick 

Now, who are you now? 

And who do you want to be? 

The woman who is some lost? 

Or the man going to be Gee! 

Do you want to fight for good? 

Do you want to choose forever? 

Do you want to be that hero? 

Do you want to be clever? 

Could it be yet any better? 

Could it even be real good? 

Could it be stupendous? 

Absolutely, it could!
