1​.​17​.​12 Fool

from January Journal by Aaron Strumpel

lyrics

You can't force your way to the top
With your loud loud voice
You can't build your kingdom to the sky
Like this city is your toy

You can't plant your trees with beans
So magic they don't need
At least century or two
To grow shade underneath

You must//Love
Her//Like He loves
His Bride//True Love
She won't//Be fooled

You can't force your way with her
With your strong strong arm
You won't build a bridge to her
Without doing her harm

You can't call her into the streets
Till you know who she is
She won't open herself to you
When you act like this

You must//Love
Her//Like He loves
His Bride//True Love
She won't//Be fooled
So don't//Be a fool
Tho you say//It's for Him
You're a fool//For your pride
It will not serve//You here
