A Crusade For Love
I’ve been lonely for way too long.
I’ve heard the music. I’ve sung the song.
I’ve searched my sole for some relief.
I need an answer. I’ve hear the beat.
Somewhere in this big old world
is a love that would be thrilled
to meld with me in harmony.
It’s more than just my karma, see.
I know she’s near. I have no fear.
I’ll never stop searching. That is clear.
I’m on a crusade. I’m on a search for love.
A love that most have only dreamed of.
A love so fine it would be a crime
If I never made her mine.
A love to be written down in history.
A love without any tragedy.
I met this girl the other night.
Everything seemed to be just right.
Till she dropped this bomb on me.
She was married but, would soon be free.
Such things happen all the time.
Like the one who ripped me off for all but, a dime.
Or the one who insisted on playing the field.
Then got mad because I wouldn’t yield.
This is just not what I’m looking for.
I’m not trying to run up a score.
I’m on a crusade. I’m on a search for love.
A love that most have only dreamed of.
A love so fine it would be a crime
If I never made her mine.
A love to be written down in history.
A love without any tragedy.
I want a love who will be faithful and true.
A love who won’t treat me like a fool.
Because I would treat her like royalty.
Shower her with love and mystery.
The best mate she could ever imagine.
She will think that she’s in heaven.
If she treats me Like I would her.
Something very special would occur.
Such love and devotion like never known
Would happen daily without being shown.
I’m on a crusade. I’m on a search for love.
A love that most have only dreamed of.
A love so fine it would be a crime
If I never made her mine.
A love to be written down in history.
A love without any tragedy.——————-R. W. Johnson—–(2012)
