To Love And Lose
Embracing Heartache: Miriam Makeba's Poignant Journey Through Love's Trials
Lyrics
Here am I alone again
Feeling isolated once again
Holding my heart in a hand
Clutching my heart as if it's fragile
Why was I born to love and lose?
Questioning the purpose of being born to experience love and loss
I cannot understand
Expressing confusion and inability to comprehend
Each road I travel seems to end
Noticing that every path I take leads to the end
Where love was certain to begin
Encountering disappointment where love was expected to start
Once more I'm faced with swallowed pride
Confronting a situation where pride has been swallowed, facing repeated challenges
And tears I cannot hide
Dealing with tears that cannot be concealed
It seems true love is not for me
Expressing a belief that true love is elusive, despite efforts
No matter how I try
Acknowledging repeated unsuccessful attempts at finding love
I awake to find that I am all alone
Waking up to find oneself alone without a clear reason
Without a reason why
Experiencing loneliness without understanding why
Why can't this heart of mine take wing
Questioning why my heart cannot soar freely
And fly beyond the birds that sing?
Desiring to go to a distant place beyond joyful birdsong
Some far off place where I can choose
Longing for a far-off place where I can choose a love that will endure
A love I'll never lose
Why can't this heart of mine take wing
Repeating the wish for my heart to take flight
And fly beyond the birds that sing?
Yearning to surpass the happiness of singing birds
Some far off place where I can choose
Expressing the desire for a place where I can choose enduring love
A love I'll never lose
