Paul Williams - Till You're Loved lyrics

You may start in the trenches and rise through the ranks till your wildest dreams have come true Make your mark as a hero, that everyone thanks Famous for just being you You can play to the ma**es entertain kings But alone in the quiet, it won't mean a thing till you're loved till you're loved You can look to the scholars and study their works forever expanding your mind You can turn to the poets each time your heart hurts they'll offer you reason and rhyme You can shoot for the moon, follow your bliss but a dream ain't a dream and a kiss ain't a kiss till you're loved Life as you know it can change in a moment when somebody whispers three words in your ear Even lost and forsaken, your confidence shaken one tender touch and it all becomes clear You can live in a castle surrounded by walls desperately trying to hide And live with the loneliness haunting those halls with a heart that is empty inside You're more like a prisoner the longer you wait baby I've been there and there's no escape till you're loved
