Lucinda Williams - Plan To Marry lyrics

When leaders can't be trusted When heroes let us down And innocence lies rusted Frozen beneath the ground And the destitute isolated we've all been forgotten And the fruit trees we planted are withered and rotten The abuse and magnificent suffer from infection And the promises were given but never with intention War becomes common place, secrets overheard And violence, big business and love is just a word Why do we marry? Why do we fall in love? Keep on believing in love Because love, love is a mighty soar, love is a weapon, love is a lesson And we, we are the conquerors We are the soldiers We are the lovers That's why we fall in love That's why we believe in love
