what by how I Without a haircut ever My hair grows however But now and then I must mow My whiskers just for show No haircuts though and never Mind trying dying it Living without trying it Let what be whatever I never know but let go And then if forever Is now when is whenever I find the rest to be How I do the best I can At being this old man In the mirror now I see Who looks somehow like me II Who I am and what I do As who was and was done to And did a little bit Is how I get rid of it As you get if you get me I am who and this is how I am and I do now Not who was but is to be Having gotten what is what Gotten rid of what is not This now or never but Whenever my forever III Only love has taught me love If by its lonely lack When I was most in need of It then that brought me back When love is all I have now Enough as what by how Only love as what has taught Me lonely that has brought Me to find love everywhere My humankind is there The lonely only need to See us be lonely too Only love can be and do What we need to know then Finding us in kind again Makes one who takes it free If only the lonely knew How we are one somehow In our humanity I find love as it finds me Steven Curtis Lance
