You say you want a partner to join in work or love
It bothers me to hear you say those words
sand inside my clothes
a partner is someone that you respect and listen to
I hear a disconnect between your words and plan
someone to improve upon
You've chosen your next target for this thoughtfully
I can see that your plan would work quite well
practical and logical
I do not think that he will bend to your desire
Carved and polished, obedient as wood
sanded to a shine
Earthquakes and fire shake and forge our world
I stand in awe before the forces on us all
that make us grow
There is only one that you should try to change
The stubborn foe that eyes you when you shave
will keep you busy
And God will gild the lily
