I'm not a complicated man I'm not that hard to understand I need what everybody needs Down in my simple soul I bleed For what the world is yearning for Someone to adore. Someone to adore The song that swells in every beating human heart The theme that throbs in every classic work of art. The drive that draws a man to churches -- and to whores Someone to adore Somewhere a man is on his knees His wife is dying by degrees He calls to God and tries to trust As another woman stirs his lust He hates his weakness to the core For someone to adore Someone to adore. He can't believe his prayers for healing co-exist With dark desires to feel a stranger's vibrant kiss The roots are twisted but the limbs are stretching toward Someone to adore Primal and constant the infinite streams find the shore The source of perfect peace the cause of every savage war Someone to adore Last night I woke in the waning moon I felt my mother in the room She said the world must hear your voice Don't be afraid you have a choice In how you open up the door To someone to adore Someone to adore And so I sing tonight, my voice is reaching out Out through the walls and past the jagged rocks of doubt Beyond my limits I can feel my spirit soar With someone to adore
