A folk love song from 1989 that was written as a birthday gift for the woman I love.
(chorus)
Life passes by
Love can ease the pain
Beauty in your eyes
Comforts an aging slave.
(verses)
Without you all can seem hopeless
Robots surround my cage
Nobody else seems to wake up
No one else digs our rage. (chorus)
You work so hard and selflessly
To see a nation free
You live simply in poverty
While other women just want money. (chorus)
Your warmth and lips still stir my soul
You feel so good to touch
A battle lost, the war goes on,
Your spirit they try to crush. (chorus)
I hope you live many more years
With more love and less pain
With more freedom and joyous times
And nights that stir your brain. (chorus)
