if you had it in your hands

if you had it in your hands
it would be all purple light
too many voices has the world
and rather too much fight

O I have been rejected
rejecting have I done
those silly distant struggles
have all been lost and won

but love's the real hearted thing
so always keep it near
and be as brave as possible
for all is fucked by fear

and if you had it in your hands
what difference there would be
we'd slide down flumes and ski down flanks
then crash into a tree
