Gotta be somethin for me to write this
Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute
Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together
Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever
I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
I ain't gon' assault em cause I probably did it too
Because of you, feelings I handle with care
Some n*ggaz recognize the light but they can't handle the glare
You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin shirts
If relationship is effort I will match your work
I wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts you the most
They say the end is near, it's important that we close..
.. to the Most High
Regardless of what happen, on Him let's rely...
There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side..
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me.."
-- "The Light," Common
As I listen, again and again, to the lyrics of this classic, the question "Can all of this ever be possible in one relationship?" is ever present. Over the years, I've realized it is emotionally safer to keep such questions as this one broad and philosophical, because doing so helps us to avoid the real question that nags our hearts: "Will I ever be able to experience a love like this?"
There is much more that I want to discuss about this song, but take a listen and hit me with the first thoughts that hit you as you take in its lyrics....

Now, discuss....
