true love waits - tom smith lyrics
there’s a building on the corner,
you know it’s the house of god.
and the man inside says makin’ love is wrong
and n-body finds that odd.
’cause he’s never made love in his lifetime,
he’s never been held in the night,
he’s never shared laughter or tears in the arms
of the one who could make it all right.
his god is his comfort, his god is his shield,
against all temptation to which he might yield,
and he never wonders why god gave him flesh
whose desires lead him so far afield?
he’s never imagined it otherwise,
and pleasure ain’t part of the plan,
and true love waits for the faithful
to be more than a woman and man.
they tell all the young men and women
to give themselves over to god,
for the kingdom of heaven awaits you
if down the right path you have trod.
and knowledge denies what we’re sure of,
and faith is a beautiful thing,
and everything’s suddenly different when
she slips on his wedding ring.
their god is their comfort, their god is their cause,
their god’s more important than reason or laws,
and they never wonder why god makes them wait,
the purpose behind the pause.
their own feelings aren’t as important
as pleasing the man up above,
and true love waits for the faithful
to show that they’re greater than love.
it don’t matter what all the facts are,
’cause facts are from secular schools
and god in his heaven will love and protect you
so long as you follow the rules.
the next life is gonna be better,
as long as you answer the call,
amidst all this thunder i can’t help but wonder
why bother with this life at all?
there’s a million young men and women
who’ve promised themselves to the lord.
they know s-x distracts you from thinkin’ ’bout gabriel
wielding his mighty sword.
and their destinies lie before them,
to be the best husbands and wives,
they only need stifle the instincts god gave them
the rest of their natural lives.
their god is their pillar, their god is their rock,
their god is their shepherd, and they are the flock,
and they never wonder why god makes them do things
the rest of the world will mock.
and denial is a river in egypt,
and all the best people abstain,
and true love waits for the faithful
to learn how to live with the pain.
and those who may falter aren’t worthy
they’ve failed themselves and their kin,
and true love waits for the virtuous,
who’ve never committed a sin.
and what you believe’s more important
than truth that might get in the way,
and true love waits for the righteous
to go up to heaven one day.
