All the While
I can't deny
This world is beautiful and wild
But pride of life
Has left us ruined and defiled
In this I find
A kind of lesson for my mind
I know that I
Become obsessed and undefined
Even success is undermined
I must confess this mess is mine
Yet when I do
The most amazing dream comes true
I lose my breath
And then I come awake to you
As like a child
Your eyes are gazing into mine
Amazing smile
For one who once was so defiled
The one you want to reconcile
Because you loved me all the while
All the while
Because you loved me all the while
This wayward child
No longer wild
Because you loved me all the while
All the while
Because you loved me all the while
This wayward child
Is reconciled
Because you loved me all the while
