Role play

You are dreaming of
who I could be to you.
You think you can choose 
between love or hate don’t you ? 
But you should know better.
You have seen already
how sacred earth craves for water. 
Ain’t no curse baby,
but you can’t force the rain
to come and go your way for certain. 

You should look through the mirror of illusions.
I won’t be just, just what you want me to be.
You should turn around your head and look 
into the crazy millions,
millions of different me.
You will see how you can love me,
if that is what you wanna do.
You will never turn me into your
little fantasy,
because I will be, and be, and be, and be who I am to be free.

And I will always try
to be fair to myself
and to the one I love.
And if you wanna try
to seek this dream with me,
come don’t lose no time.
Don’t even lose a cry.
Don’t give me all the show.
Just give me what you are.
That’s all I need to know. 

I’m not your mother
if you are not my son. 
I’m not your daughter
if you are not my mom.
Will you ever get it ?
If you want a lover,
show me that you’ve got soul under.
Be my friend baby,
if you want to love me.
Or just go forever and never
come back to see how I’m doing without you.
That will hurt you, if you know how to get hurt.
Cause I’m always doing well when there 
is no crazy fool around,
around my peace of mind.
Cause I know how to hear the sound, 
The growling and murmuring sound, 
of my heart beating the rhymes of time
against who I am.
That’s why I will be, for ever, a lover who, for ever, will want to be free.

And I will always try
to be fair to myself
and to the one I love.
And if you wanna try
to seek this dream with me,
come don’t lose no time.
Don’t even lose a cry.
Don’t give me all the show.
Just give me what you are.
That’s all I need to know. 

If you’re scared, you better leave.
We’ll go far from where you live.
I ask my mothers the stars :
“Make me so that I don’t lie.
Make me feel.
Make me real.”
I want to ride by your side.
It’s all about you.
It’s all about us.
It’s you teaching us how to become stardust.
