Lyrics
Labour of Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Forced by necessity
I'll write a legend or
These gifts I'll bring to you
For your benefit on all
In anticipation
Things to come
A labour
A labour of love
These sacrifices have been
Tough on our prosperity
A small price to pay
For the knowledge
That we now own
In anticipation
Things to come
A labour
A labour of love
So till we lead to them
Add some finished points in time
I'll think on our ability
To realize the potential
Of our dreams
In anticipation
Things to come
A labour
A labour of love
Bridges of my dreams
Destiny, so it seems
Bridges of my dreams
Destiny, so it seems
