My Ongoing Exploration of Earth

Greater Love

This is a poem I wrote in 2003. I imagine all of my poetry set to music. I imagine the verses of this one set to the tune of Let Go by Aerosmith and the chorus set to the tune of Amazing by Aerosmith.

​There was a man who loved a woman
As men tend to do
There could never be another
She filled his heart through and through
She was his one and only
She fit him like a suit
Other women folk
Couldn't hit the note
Were lower than a substitute of a substitute
He really truly loved her
He only wanted what was best
When she was displeased
Then he could get no rest
But the woman didn't feel the same
Thought they were as different as a duck and a stone
But when his love he confessed
She had to say yes
Couldn't bear to see him live his life alone

There is a greater love out there
For which there is no compare
Unfortunately it seems much too rare
But it's found inside those who truly care
The greater love is awesome
The greater love will make you new
The greater love will get you through

She tried to explain it
To her girlfriends on the phone
They didn't understand
Thought she had sipped too much foam
He's a really great guy
Deserves a woman to help him work and play
He's really going to need me
That's the way it's going to be
And so I'll forever stay
There is a greater love
That is simple, true, and right
And I know that in the end
I'll be all right
Of course she would never tell him
Would never let him know
But the man had overheard
Had heard every word
And said you're free to go

There is a greater love out there
For which there is no compare
Unfortunately it seems much too rare
But it's found inside those who truly care
The greater love is awesome
The greater love will make you new
The greater love will get you through

You've been good to me
You've loved more than your share
But you know I'm an honest man
And I have to be fair
I'll return the favor
I'm going to set you free
Find someone you like
The one who's right
Don't settle for me
I've lived since birth without you
I'm sure I'll be okay
I know you care so much
But don't try to make me stay
As he turned to leave
She tried to grab his arm
But he ran outside
And they both cried
And that's the end of my yarn

There is a greater love out there
For which there is no compare
Unfortunately it seems much too rare
But it's found inside those who truly care
The greater love is awesome
The greater love will make you new
The greater love will get you through
