Maria Daines ~ Custom Made

’Custom Made’ When you tried all your heart can try And you can’t bear the hurt no more When you’ve cried all your eyes can cry They say all is fair in love and war You do what you know you shouldn’t do Try and try again to bring love back to you Give all you’ve got to give and more Hurt like you’ve never hurt before Can’t hold it down or lock it in a cage Tie it with string, it unravels like rage And it wins in the light and in the shade Love builds the bonds, custom made Love won’t be captured, won’t be tamed It’s not a picture on a wall, it can’t be framed It’s like a candle, only burns when there’s a flame Beyond all things it lives in glory, not in shame Love heals the hopeless and afraid Love is the rescue, beautiful renegade The helpless and the lost, found and saved Love is the bridge, custom made Love writes the rules, the great rectifier Pulls us from harm and hellfire Calls us to dream a bright new day On broken knees, love teaches us how to pray Love won’t be sanctioned, it must be obeyed I
