a dog's heart

the loyalty
simplicity
a dog will give you more
unconditional love
just lying on the floor
than people ever gave before
for dogs do not want
to go to war
and dogs only want
to feel secure
to be loved
more and more

a heart is like a dog
the loyalty
simplicity
a heart will give you more
unconditional love
just lying next to you
feeling as it did before
it ever learned to fear
or go to war
for hearts only want
to feel secure
to be loved
more and more

and when a heart is broken
the infant inside
awakens to unspoken
tears to be cried

the heart wants to mend
but afraid to bend
and afraid to fall

so the heart goes to sleep
hoping dreams will keep
no feeling at all

sleeping like a log
i'd rather be a dog

the sleeping dog mends
with his only friends
a bone and a ball

and when the dog wakes
like when the bow breaks
the cradle will fall

and the baby cries
and the dream dies
the baby cries
the dream dies

but is that hope i see in your eyes?...
where the sleeping dog lies...
can we be so wise?
is it a surprise?

the dog is like you
the dog is like me
the loyalty
the simplicity
and we can share much more
unconditional love
than we ever did before
if we do not want
to go to war
if we only want
to feel secure
to be loved
more and more
