I’m just an old-fashioned love song,
There’s nothing extraordinary about me,
I believe in Jesus,
Marriage,
Children,
My neighbour.
In today’s world,
Where faith is jeered,
Marriage is scorned,
Children are considered annoyances,
I walk out of step,
The song I sing is quiet
Yet strong,
To thy own self-be true,
It’s hard to live true to myself,
I disappear
When I’m left with the stranger living inside me.
An old-fashioned love song,
That’s me,
Feeling odd,
Feeling strange
In a world going another way.
Not so out of step; affirming.
