IT'S ALREADY BEEN SUNG...

Is this just another day,... this God forgotten place?
First comes love, then comes pain. let the games begin,...
Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.
It’s already been sung, but it can’t be said enough.
All you need is love

Is this just another phase? earthquakes making waves,...
Trying to shake the cancer off? stupid human beings,...
Once you hold the hand of love,.. it’s all surmountable.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you,...
Cause to the universe I don’t mean a thing
And there’s just one word I still believe
And it’s

It’s an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..
Lost 9 friends we’ll never know,.. 2 years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?

And the young, they can lose hope cause they can’t see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old can’t give away
Hey,...
Constant recoil...
Sometimes life
Don’t leave you alone.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don’t mean a thing
And there’s just one word that I still believe and it’s
Love,... love. love. love. love.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns,.. steer us towards the clear.
I know it’s already been sung,... can’t be said enough.
Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..
Love,.. love,...
Love.

(update, 5-11-06; 4:53pm) I posted this song today because as I was listening to this last night it occured to me that "Love Boat Captain" can become a great metaphor for God in this song. If you listen to this song as a dialog between Vedder to God and Vedder to society then it becomes a great worship song. I'm keeping it in the back of my mind as a possible alt.worship song at some point in the near future. Shalom. JN.
