Into the Night
Santana feat. Chad Kroeger - MyVideo

Once there was a boy Who gave his love freely Loved everyone equal Saw no one different He thought that the most precious gift That he could give another Was love and affection Man, woman, friend or lover So he lived in innocence and bliss Happiness and contentment Until that one day That one fateful day As he walked down the street On the arm of his lover And saw a man leaning up against a wall Who looked like he could be having trouble And walked over to the man And dared to ask if something was wrong He began to speak, and then he looked up Looked at the boy and the young man with him And his eyes grew dark and angry Moved too fast for either of them There was a flash of bright steel A splash of crimson blood And a torrent of horrible names And the boy fell silently at the foot of his love While the man ran, ran quickly away And as the world grew soft and fuzzy ’round the edges As he felt the shadows creeping in He lay his trembling fingers on his lover’s cheek And said “Tell them you love them again And again And again And again” And his love didn’t have to ask who he was talking about He knew exactly who he meant Not one person, but the entire world So full of hate and resentment And then the darkness closed in on the free spirit The shadows bore him off to a place Where saying “I love you” is never a fear Where there’s no pain or hurt or hate His lover bore the small form away The light of life gone from its eyes It was no longer the youth he loved But an empty shell his disguise But he did as he asked He never forgot He spread his cheer and joy and frame Of mind to others, trying to drive away the hate And the whole time he felt the free spirit Wrap his arms around him again and again and Again and again and… Hate brings nothing but pain and remorse Bitter, red-stained tears Intolerance a rough-edged sword Stained with the blood of many years And it cleaves through souls that otherwise Have naught but love to give It turns the world unlivable Keeps alive all our fears So if we open our eyes to others If we see things from their side If we can only be what we’re meant to be And never have to hide When we’re free to say “I Love You” To whoever where we please Then we’ll know that this is paradise Every spirit will be free

I hate the idea my son is gay, a father confided to me, nor can I find the words to say I’m ashamed of his sexuality It’s just not true I love him less, a father confided to me, but nature didn’t provide an anus to be used other than…naturally I’ll love him whatever his choice, a father confided to me, but he can’t expect me to rejoice that he has a boyfriend, surely? True love is unconditional, I said, whether partner or parent, sibling or friend…taken as read, by a humanity heaven sent It’s easy enough for you to say, a father confided to me, you don’t have a son who’s gay, thinks it’s proud he should be Of course I’m proud of the lad, a father confided to me and since he’s not turned out bad, I guess it’s thankful I should be Dads and sons rarely see eye to eye, a father confided to me, I dare say, like always, we’ll get by, let live and…sexuality I took comfort from our discourse that my boyfriend will be okay; his dad might run with dinosaurs but love would win the day author: Roger Taber
