Will It Last
Longing for Freedom: Kenny Loggins' Melodic Quest
Lyrics
I see a lion captive in the kitchen
I perceive a lion confined in the kitchen
Rolling thunder rumbles down the hall
Rumbling sounds like thunder move through the hallway
Once in awhile, everyone paces the floor
Occasionally, everyone experiences restlessness, pacing the floor
Lately, it's more and more
Recently, this restlessness has become more frequent
Love, if yu must be started go easily on your way
Love, if you need to initiate something, do so gently
Still I wonder could it wait another day?
Still, I ponder if it could wait for another day
Will it last enough to say you have your freedom?
Will the situation endure long enough for you to claim your freedom?
Is the answer just another road to go?
Is the solution just another path to take?
Does it have to leave to be?
Does it have to depart to exist?
Can it stay and be with be with me?
Can it remain and be with me?
When will it last enough to have it here at home?
When will it endure long enough to be present at home?
Too many roads are needlessly divided
Too many paths are needlessly separated
By silent walls we build along the way
By silent barriers we construct along the journey
Why be alone to learn that your life has more?
Why be isolated to realize that your life has more?
That's what our love is for
That's the purpose of our love
Tear down those angry walls. I'll walk with you where you go
Tear down those angry walls. I'll accompany you wherever you go
Still, you're the only one who'll ever know
Still, you're the only one who will truly understand
Will it last enough to say you have your freedom?
Will the situation endure long enough for you to claim your freedom?
Is the answer just another road to go?
Is the solution just another path to take?
Does it have to leave to be?
Does it have to depart to exist?
Or can it stay and be with me?
Or can it remain and be with me?
Will it last enough? Oh, will it last enough?
Will the situation endure long enough? Oh, will it endure long enough?
Will it last enough? Oh, will it last enough?
-When will it last enough to have it here at home?
When will it endure long enough to be present at home?
