It's not the idea of love
That brings it round
It's not your audacity
That brought me to the ground
It's not the idea of war
That brings it on
It's all that we came here for
But never really saw

But this hope for change lingers on
And when you leave this earth, you will sing along
This riddle song of love

It's not the idea of truth
That makes it wrong
But this search of righteousness
Never captured me for long
For all that I hope to be
When my days are done
Is someone who shared the wealth
Of love inside of me

And this hope for change lingers on
And when you leave this earth, you will sing along
This riddle song of love
Life's riddle song of love

But this hope for change lingers on
And when you leave this earth, you will sing along
This riddle song of love
Life's riddle song of love
