Better to be hot than cold Now that I am old I can sleep when I am dead Stay awake instead Trying to figure it out But have come to doubt I ever will so never Mind then whatever When understanding I go On wondering though Now where I am here under These stars I wonder Diamonds on velvet blue As I am and do I was too serious when I was young but then I never knew what I know Now nobody told Me nor would I have heeded What I most needed To know but found out about Then bound the hard way Roundabout but even so Now I know today How the meaning in between Is love anyway Love is who we are and what We do or do not But I did so succeeded In being who does Love is why and always was Love is what we mean Wondering by starlight now Understanding how Better late than never I Finally know why Steven Curtis Lance
