lyrics

If love is a fire, I wish to be a-blaze.
I'd flicker high and low and burn a strong flame.
I'd do all in my power to see everyone play the game.
If love is a fire, I wish to be, we all should be a-blaze.

If love is rooted, I wish to be the soil.
Grounded all around with no threat that I would spoil.
All the plants and fun-guys would embrace real loyal,
yeah, if love is rooted, I wish to be the soil.

So let's make -- love the baseline.
Let -- your eyes meet mine.
Let your smile... go full shine.

and suddenly the storms clear as we hold dear
the love that flows when we let it go free
like the wind through the pines.

suddenly everything has a touch of fresh that we can embrace
to help each other be more kind.

suddenly we wake up with smirks on our faces as we realize
today has never happened before & all we have is time!

might as well make it time to spread love,
from the Earth below to every inch of the sky above!

spread the love... spread the love...

If love is a river, I wish to be immersed.
Saturated & flowing with no movements rehearsed.
Improvising to the fullest, each & every verse.
Not worrying over where I need to go, I'm drowning out that ol' Curse!

'cause If love is in the air, I wish to be the wind.
Each new ebb & flow is where I would begin.
Breathing easy, taking chances freely, all is my kin.
If love is in the air, I wanna be, we all should be the wind.
