Dare To Love | |||||
He remembers at 14 He knew what he wanted He wanted a man no psychiatry Just to be held to be told it was alright All he got was a hospital bed And some pills to sleep at night In his mind were images so divine But in his life it was a hell of a time They locked him away Because he dared to love A boy with a man of his own He wonders if anyone Has ever heard of him They kicked in the door Acting like there was Some kind of murder going on Made there love seem dirty Called him sick called him queer The law was against him He was 25 his lover 16 Couldn't believe it was happening It seemed so unreal But a cell 12 by 8 made it all so very real They locked him away Because he dared to love A boy with a mind of his own He loved a boy with a mind of his own Where is the crime, where is the crime in love He loved a boy with a mind of his own They locked him away Because he dared to love A boy with a mind of his own (Butcher / Somerville) |
