I was surprised recently to be “nominated” by Anita Bowden for The Three-Day Lyrical Challenge. I enjoy the spiritual but not religious bent to her blog. Thank you for thinking of me, Anita! This is my second lyrical post. I chose The Body of Love by Ben Lee, from his album Love is the great rebellion because it sounds like a beautiful meditation or prayer, with the bonus of a catchy tune.
The Body of Love
By Ben Lee
Where there is fear, let there be an opening
Where there is hunger, let the road ahead be full of grace
Where there is judgement, let there be empathy
Where we have forgotten how to love
Let us know the ache
The ache being one, one with the body of love
One with the body of love
We’re being one, one with the body of love
One with the body of love
Where there is loneliness, let there be solitude
Where there is pride where we are strong, let us learn to break
Where there is certainty, let there be innocence
When there is hurt, where there is hurt, let there be an embrace
Embracing, being one, one with the body of love
One with the body of love
We’re being one, one with the body of love
One with the body of love
All back to one, one with the body of love
We’re being one, one with the body of love
The ache in your heart is holy
The ache in your heart is good
The ache in your heart is the ache of being one
One with the body of love
One with the body of love
Alright now one, one with the body of love
One with the body of love
Where there is anger, let there be forgiveness now
Where there is sweetness to be found, let us know the taste
Where there is doubt, let there be emptiness
Where there are two, let there be one
Let us know the ache
The ache of being one, one with the body of love
One with the body of love
We’re being one, one with the body of love
One with the body of love
All back to one, one with the body of love
We’re being one, one with the body of love
The ache in your heart is holy
The ache in your heart is good
The ache in your heart is the ache of being one
One one with the body of love
One with the body of love
