I Can't Believe That I Am Damned

I can't believe that I am damned

That I live without love

I can't believe I live a lie

and should suffer in silence.

How little I know!

and yet it seems

that I have realized truth

And one of which most are afraid

Come share in my salvation!

Dare you not to taste that which

is sweet upon my tongue?

I know that I know little

but the little that I know

is but the truth 

and makes me freer 

To live as I would want.

I am not governed by such laws

That others wield with cruelty

I'm governed by my beating heart

and the blood coursing in my veins.

I love as well as any man

I love as well as thee

And canst thou see that in this love

I have now been set free?

I dare not to defy you

nor defy my own true soul

Why can you not accept that love 

cannot be feared?

And that I live my own blind truth

Better than hateful lies

Do you fear me for my love?

Do you fear my devotion?

And I have found, in fragile lies

Upheld by stubborn mind

That you wield hate against yourself

And to your truth you're blind

So forgive me, kind sir, and let

me pass along my way

For I am sure that I'm not damned

And we'll be free one day
