Is there anything else that love can do?


I was born into this world with nothing,
writhing in pain, living in a mere gap in eternity.

When the cunning ones and the ones who gave up on their dreams
are the only winners in this age, where do I stop to breathe?

Rulers and gods may seem like distant, unfamiliar faces,
but I would still expect them to know full well
of the magic of courage, hope and human connection.

Adults with no direction may turn their eyes away,
but the ''you'' from way back then, still today
is right at the center of all I consider just.

Even when the world turns its back on you,
you still have the strength to stand up against it.

Is there anything else that love can do?

Is there anything else that I can do?

This is the courage you gave me,
so I want to use it on your behalf.

This is the love that I chose to share with you,
so it's meaningless, if it's not with you.

Is there anything else that love can do?

Is there anything else that I can do?

''Fate'' is nothing more than the roll of a die.
Or perhaps it's just the caprices of the gods.

A suit of armor, chosen for us, that won't come off.
Or maybe it's a distant, unwavering intent.

Unanswered prayers, and reunions that never transpired,
uncleared misunderstandings, and hatred that keeps piling up,
voices that forgive each other, and hands holding each other tight.

This star carries them all with it, as we yet live on today.

Is there anything else that love can do?

Is there anything else that I can do?

This is the courage you gave me,
so I want to use it on your behalf.

This is the love that I raised with you,
so it's meaningless, if it's not with you.

Is there anything else that love can do?

Is there anything else that I can do?

Why are we allowed to dream, even though we're so insignificant?
Why are we allowed to hold hope in our lives, even though one day they'll end?
Why is it that everything we were given just slips through our fingers?
And isn't it unsightly, that we cling to them all the same?

Or is it actually beautiful?

Please, answer me!

Songs about love have been sung to death.

After so many movies, love's story has been told to death.

And even though you and I were born into such a wasteland,
there are still more things that love can do.

There are still more things that I can do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
