Universal Kiss I had to let myself go to know who I was And what to do about it anyway Having lived over winter given over to An unexpected entering of spring I found myself childlike but knowing what to do This time around here when here is the thing Some things I regret but most I forget because My second childhood spring is underway There has to be a reason for me now as I Return for this second season to see How it goes knowing how going on to know why To be at this late hour or not to be I found out on my way out my way out is in Ready to go already having gone Through winter to enter spring again and go on Ready to be already having been The lessons of the universe return until We learn them (the hard way if we have to) In winter then I knew when spring was coming through Asking will you learn to answer I will And this was the answer I had missed until then Learning the hard way returning again I found I had to give up to live up to me The first time around I was mistaken Then shaken awake when everything was taken From me but this childlike simplicity When the how of somehow becomes now forever This becomes it more than ever before Learning how it turns out to be now or never This is it then at the what of what for What I missed returned with a universal kiss I learned my lesson the hard way for this Steven Curtis Lance
