The central silence of the project.

I had a little idea while sitting in the Waffle House listening to myself prattle on  -- that I should reprise the chorus of "Fun with Stickers" much slower with an organ, cello, and a guitar, and play around with the pronouns.  I came up with something that wasn't totally new, but managed to define itself as something different and add a central chorus to the project.

It may be much shorter in final form.  Like one of Pink Floyd's famous tasty little segue tracks.

Lyrics:
He just wants to love.
And feel the fullness in his chest.
He wants to feel
That he belongs.
He shouldn’t have to feel so ugly.
He wants love.
He wants to love.
He wants to love and not be afraid.

She just wants to live,
And figure out just who she is here
Not to feel 
she must commit
Before she knows that she is safe with him.
To grow.
And be a friend.
And not to move until she is sure.

They want to be them
Without the fear of hateful judgement.
And to feel like they belong.
They shouldn’t have to feel perverted.
And to love.
And be approved.
They want to love and just be them.

He just wants to love.
And feel that he is somehow worthy.
And to feel that he belongs,
He shouldn’t have to feel so lonely.
He wants love; he wants to love.
He wants to love and not be dismissed.

She just wants to live
And have a roof above her head.
She wants to feel 
like she is free.
She shouldn’t have to feel she owes him.
And to choose.
She wants to live.
She wants to sleep and be left alone.

I just want to live.
I want to love – feel like I belong
Not have to fight* every single day.*
I shouldn’t have to feel subhuman
And to live.*
I want to love.*
I want to love without being prey.

We just want to live 
We want to love *and not be afraid.
But we never will.
We don’t understand.*
We’re all the same, so we keep on fighting.

Universal Chorus
