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
