I love these lyrics, this song, and yet when I'm feeling pessimistic it makes think that love is no more than an excuse to do what we want and hurt people.
Funny that he brings up faith (I thought he did, he actually says fate, which I could argue is aligned with faith) too, because despite having faith, I do feel like it is used to fuel every war. We live in a world where we tape IED's to our bodies to blow people up in the name of "pick a God's name and put it in here".
Sometimes love and faith, the way we use it, as excuses to hurt and burn and destroy people's hearts and their villages, the roots of everything they are, makes me indifferent toward anyone outside my immediate circle. I think my God understands that.
It's Saturday.I will not think of love or faith today. Happy Saturday ;)
All In Love Is Fair Stevie Wonder
All is fair in love Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future no one can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you'd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away...
