love people - sol hardy lyrics

i want to love people
and when i say i want to love people i mean i want
to love them like replacing every street lamp with a stained gl-ss bulb for the h-ll of it
because it’s beautiful like you and like me
i mean i want to love people like making the prettiest girl in the room laugh
like the voice my grandfather uses to read the gospel
like a mirror with an off switch
i want to love people like the person i am just forgot about the person i want to be and the person i just wanted to be dissolved into the person i am
i want to love people like folding the sky into a blue bouquet of seven billion origami roses and giving them to everybody with notes that read:
look there’s only seven billion of us here and you get to be one
like today our mouths are for kissing and nothing else
i want to love people like john lennon’s imagination like gandhi’s conviction
like a christian that actually listens
when i say i want to love people i mean
i want to love them like the congregations of
every church, mosque, synagogue, and temple in the world doing
a chinese fire drill with one another all at once
i mean i want to love people like making all of the bullets currency
so no one would waste them k!lling anybody anymore and making all of the currency
go f-ck yourself tickets so we could all tell the banks
exactly what’s on everyone’s mind
i want to love people like the way a child’s eyes touch what’s in front of them
like we all forgot where to look and remembered how to see
like we all forgot how to speak and remembered what to say
i want to love people like instead of handing children only a word and a definition
to use when teaching them of forgiveness we would show their gentle eyes simply
to point upwards at the moon and stars and keep their mouths shut
i want to love people like my mother believes in them
like i so badly wish that i could
i want to love people like my cousin loved heroin
like the day he woke up alone with no more f-ck yourself tickets to spend
and a hand loaded with currency that all went to his head in a flash
that power like he’s richer than any of us have ever been now, believe me
i want to love people like i want him back
so when i say i want to love people i mean i want to love people
like 7 billion people pointing up at the moon and stars with their mouths shut
clutching blue roses against their hearts so that when the day gives each of us it’s light we can celebrate by letting go our unfolding arms into the sky
as we watch it erupt into the color of a baptism
