Love is the first law

In the beginning, there was the mind
After which God followed closely behind
We gave her form, she gave us nothing
Well, she gave us more things to fear
Which is something

Those who believe there's things to believe in
They are out there, but we are more than them

Love is the first law, if we're even human
If we can pretend that we know what we're doing
Then comes surrender to all and each sister
I'll show you my hands if you show me yours, mister

Those who would challenge our right to give in
They are out there, but we are more than them

They feel they are undeserving
Of love, and so they try to own this horror
It's everything that they know
Their agony remains unswerving
They know not how to bend
Or how to see that law-abiding love
Awaits them in

My arms
My heart
My eyes
Our arms
Our hearts
Our eyes
