Universal Language - Marcus D

It don’t matter where you from

It don’t matter who you are

Old or young

Whether near or far

It is color blind and truly without prejudice

A heart is a home and it’s usually the resident

Anywhere you go, if it’s there, it is evident

Matter fact, there’s no where in the world that it’s never been

Timeless, because it’s always relevant

Beautiful, but it isn’t always elegant

Sometimes it’s simplistic and innocent

Fightin' it at first but eventually you let it in

It can be a thought

Or, family support

Once it hits you like a viral infection you’re caught

You wouldn’t be at fault if you’re spreadin' it around

When it seems the troubles of the world’s gettin' you down

If it is sound, then it sound like this

Overflowing with passion ‘til you drown in bliss!

Chorus:

You can…

Smell it, taste it

See it, touch it, embrace it.

It’s the…

Helpin' hand and constant friend

Always there, anytime or place

It’s so complex, yet, oh so simple

Expressed through smiles and dimples

Soft eyes and body language

You try but you can’t contain it!

It’s a four letter word

A noun and a verb

But it easily takes a page to define it

It’s clear, only the hand of God could design it

Whenever my daughter reaches for me, I’m reminded

Of how one that can barely speak, can express it

And be a recipient of it, though you didn’t request it

Even in a sincere smile its suggested

Often found in a pound, hug or gratitude

We even put it on display through our attitude

And a dose of it can even raise your altitude

To find peace, that’s constant elevation

To help you arrive at your final destination

Whether «Cloud 9» or it’s heaven you seek

It’s a universal language so whenever you speak

We can all understand ‘cause it shows in your actions

To everyone you meet without knowing their reaction

BRIDGE

Sometimes it’s hard to find it

Catch sight you can be blinded

This is the power it has

Built with the strength to outlast you and I. Yet

Like water in your hand or

Seeds sown in fertile land

It’s precious and we need it in our

Lives to survive, survive!

It can be physical

It can be spiritual

Might show up when you least expect.

It’s a miracle

It can be the cause of regret, and why you’re miserable

Then again, it can make you feel invincible

Metaphorically speaking and sometimes literal

At times, hard to find but always visible

Critical to my life, so I use it like it’s medicinal

Though, that isn’t conventional, it is part of my ritual

And I know I’m not saying anything original

This might not be applicable to every individual

But to falsify this feeling should be criminal

It’s no wonder why when it’s betrayed it’s unforgivable

That’s why we share it with those we find dependable

A shoulder to lean on when life feels formidable

For real, it can truly heal at its pinnacle

Isn’t it amazing, the power of one syllable!

HOOK

Worldwide and coast to coast

We gonna spread it where it’s needed most

Y’all know what it is!

Japan, Maryland to Sea Town

Let’s give the world what it need now

Y’all know what it is!

We gon' bring her back and put her above all

‘Cause who we’re talking about is love y’all!
