lyrics

Passion
Words & Music by Joanna Chapman-Smith

Verse 1: She says, “Darlin’ why do you feel on the
outside lookin’ in?”
She says, “Darlin’ why do you look on the
outside all the time?
Well I am much older than you – And I can tell you
This doesn’t have to change
So before you decide to leave
Make sure you’ve tried a remedy
And before you decide to go, remember
You bring yourself wherever you go.
Go”

Verse 2: Well, I’m 20 years old livin alone, livin alone
with a heart of bone
I enter into the night to search for my own
And they scream,
“Passion! Passion! Pasion!”

Chorus: And I think, “When did I lose the gift to fall in
love?”
And I think “When did I dry up inside?”

Bridge: But I know, I still dream
I dream of revolution
I dream of a day
When the west will rise up
And pass away
Those trappigs that we’ve taken to forget
That we ride on the back of the world
Privilege is always a privileged ride!

Chorus: And I scream, “Passion! Passion! And Desire!
And I scream, “Passion! Passion! And Desire!”

End: But I (but I, But I)
Oh I (Oh I, Oh I)
Still feel on the outside
Still feel on the outside lookin’ in
