Lyrics
Oh but I pray thee give me one thing
Expressing a desire or plea for something.
Give me love from your heart
Requesting love that comes genuinely from the heart.
Where does the fire of love kindle first
Questioning where the initial spark of love originates.
In the heart, in the hearts of every man
Asserting that love starts in the hearts of all people.
Taking your chances, not knowing fire burns
Taking risks in love without being aware of potential pain.
To give love to receive no love in return
Describing the imbalance when giving love but not receiving it in return.
That emptiness it brings tears in your eyes
Expressing the emotional emptiness that brings tears.
Tell me why you're doing this now at this time
Questioning the reasons for certain actions causing emotional distress.
When love fire should be burning
Wondering why love, which should be thriving, is not.
Love is the force I said let there be light
Affirming that love is a powerful force that brings light.
In the heart, in the hearts of every man
Reiterating that love originates in the hearts of everyone.
He who drowns in his tears will
Describing someone overwhelmed by sorrow.
Cling on to the memory
Clutching onto memories even if they cause pain.
Hopelessly clutching onto yesterday's properties
Holding onto possessions of the past, perhaps hindering progress.
And murders love, it's just tears in your eyes
Asserting that holding onto the past can destroy love.
Tears in your eyes, you cry, why oh why
Expressing the sadness of crying with a sense of questioning.
Must you feel this feeling in your soul
Questioning the necessity of feeling a particular emotion in the soul.
Now that you know that love kindles first
Reiterating that love begins in the hearts of all people.
In the heart, in the hearts of every man.
Advising against taking unnecessary risks in love.
Don't take any chances, you know
Encouraging the giving of love without hesitation.
Fire burn, just give love, you'll receive
Emphasizing the reciprocity of love, leading to happiness.
Love in return and happiness
Highlighting the joy that love brings to one's world.
It brings joy in your world
Asking why one would hesitate to keep the fire of love burning.
Tell me why, you got to keep it burning
Love is the force, that's why there is life
Reiterating that love originates in the hearts of everyone.
In the heart, in the hearts of every man
Observing people drowning in their own sorrows.
See them drowning now in their own tears
Describing the futile attempt to hold onto past gains.
Holding on to the dwindling profits of yesteryear
Asserting that such actions can destroy love and lead to tears.
Murders love and cause tears in your eye
Questioning the motivation behind destructive behavior.
Tell me why you do this
Asking for an explanation of these actions.
Tears in our eyes we cry why
Expressing collective sadness and questioning.
Love in our hearts so why
Questioning why there is love in hearts if it leads to pain.
Why must we feel that same feeling
Asking about the universal experience of a particular feeling in the soul.
In our soul
Referencing the recurring theme of love, particularly its fiery nature.
Love oh love fire

Love oh love
Love fire it burns bright not again

Ain't no man who has no friend

But I know sparks turn into flames
