Honest Emotion - Michael McDonald

I know that there is more to life

Than this little piece that I’ve broken off and keep suspended

Safe behind these four walls

But have I just blocked out the sky

That fills that old river with pure water

Of love stronger than pride

Honest emotion

So hard to come by

Once it hurts you enough to last a lifetime

With honest emotion

Would honest emotion even know me if I walk through this door

I’m a skater on the lake of love

Always gliding on the surface of deeper feelings

But never falling through

On my blades of flash and steel

Between the sky and deep blue clear crystal

Waters of pure love

Honest emotion

So hard to come by

Once it hurts you enough to last a lifetime

With honest emotion

Would honest emotion even know me if I walk through this door

I have wings on my shoulders

I never thought to use them

And these shadows in my heart

I never thought I’d lose them

Honest emotion

So hard to come by

Once it hurts you enough to last a lifetime

With honest emotion

Would honest emotion even know me if I walk through this door
