I Really Thought That Love Would Save

All Of Us Growing Up Have Come To Terms With Too Much Pain. Although We Repress It, It's Still There. The Worst Pain Is That Of Not Being Wanted, Of Realising Your Parents Do Not Need You In The Way You Need Them.

Before Many Black Singers Were Still Labouring Under That Problem Of God; It Was Often 'god Will Save Us'. But Right Through The Blacks Were Singing Directly And Immediately About Their Pain And Also About Sex, Which Is Why I Like It.

There Are Two Basic Motivating Forces: Fear And Love. When We Are Afraid, We Pull Back From Life. When We Are In Love, We Open To All That Life Has To Offer With Passion, Excitement, And Acceptance. We Need To Learn To Love Ourselves First, In All Our Glory And Our Imperfections. If We Cannot Love Ourselves, We Cannot Fully Open To Our Ability To Love Others Or Our Potential To Create. Evolution And All Hopes For A Better World Rest In The Fearlessness And Open-hearted Vision Of People Who Embrace Life.

It's Fear Of The Unknown. The Unknown Is What It Is. And To Be Frightened Of It Is What Sends Everybody Scurrying Around Chasing Dreams, Illusions, Wars, Peace, Love, Hate, All That-it's All Illusion. Unknown Is What It Is. Accept That It's Unknown And It's Plain Sailing. Everything Is Unknown-then You're Ahead Of The Game. That's What It Is. Right?

I Want You To Make Love, Not War, I Know You've Heard It Before.
