WE ALL HAVE LOVED,
YET WE ALL HAVE HATED.
WE ALL HAVE OUR NEEDS,
YET WE ALL WISH TO BE NEEDED.
WE ALL HAVE A MONKEY ON OUR BACK,
YET WE ALL WISH TO HAVE A PET MONKEY.
WE ALL HAVE BEEN HURT,
YET WE ALL HAVE CAUSED HURT.
WE ALL WILL NEVER BE TOTALLY CLEAN,
YET WE ALL BATHE OFTEN.
WE ALL HAVE HOPE,
YET WE ALL HAVE DISPAIR.
WE ALL HAVE FRIENDS,
YET WE ALL HAVE ENEMIES.
AND OF COURSE
WE ALL HAVE A FUTURE,
YET WE ALL HAVE A PAST
SO WE ALL MUST DRIVE OUT
DEMONS FROM THE PAST AWAY
TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE ANGELS OF OUR FUTURE.
