I am in love with the idea of love
I long to feel it's warm embrace
I wish for someone to care for me
I am in love with the idea of love

I am fearful of the idea of fear
I cower in it's cloying shadow
I run from it's many demons
I am fearful of the idea of fear

I am hopeful about the idea of hope
I dream one day people will have some
I keep it close to my heart
I am hopeful about the idea of hope

I am in love with the idea of love
I crave to sing it's sweet song
I see it through rose-tinted glasses
I am in love with the idea of love

I am saddened by the idea of sadness
I weep it's many tears
I watch it drive my mother mad
I am saddened by the idea of sadness

I am angered at the idea of anger
I look on as it destroys
I try to shield myself from it
I am angered at the idea of anger

I am in love with the idea of love
I need to believe it's worth fighting for
I think it's the greatest thing we'll ever learn
I am in love with the idea of love.

I am peaceful about the idea of peace
I don't think war will give it to us
I believe it lives within us all
I am peaceful about the idea of peace

I am failing at the idea of failure
I take comfort in knowing things will get better
I know most things can be changed
I am failing at the idea of failure

I am in love with the idea of love
I listen as it teaches us
I care about where it takes me
I am in love with the idea of love
