Love God (part 1)

I wrote and recorded this song during the darkest days of the AIDS plague in NYC in the mid - late 1980s, but never released it. I have so much saudade for those who didn't make it through— some of my dearest friends. Music is the only antidote.

lyrics

Love God (part 1)

Believe all you want—
We are out of here, we are gone

At 18 you should not be afraid to love
at 21 you should not be for sale (yet)
at 25 there should be more than 3 choices;
the streets, the shelter, or jail

Believe
Leave
Let us in

Love God
I did all that your man demanded
I did all that your man demanded
I did all that your man demanded

There are many places with nothing to offer,
but here— it's kept so neatly stacked
(Let us in)
And there are many of us willing to suffer
for those who think it's all an act

I can't cast a shadow anymore,
Love God— where is your light?
Love God, it never reaches me anymore
Love God

Leave all you want
We are out of here
Believe all you want—
We are out of here, we are gone

Towers, open fire!
