THE SOUL

If I could touch you anywhere, it wouldn’t be where you think.

If I could touch you anywhere, it wouldn’t even make you blink.

If I could touch you anywhere, it would be daring and bold.

If I could touch you anywhere, I would touch your soul.

If you believe the eyes are the windows to the soul,

Then look in deep and you will be sold.

If you see something you like and you want to see more,

Look at the smile, you just might find the door.

Once you’re inside the door, you can see all there is to see.

Once you’re inside the door, you can tell if it’s meant to be.

Once you’re inside the door, you can feel what it’s all about.

Once you’re inside the door, you can touch the soul from the inside out.

The body is just a vehicle for the soul, that we know.

If human touch is the motor that makes the soul go,

If the soul is the essence of what is you and what is me,

Then to start this motor, Love is its key.

In the night when it’s dark and cold

I want your heat to grab and hold.

I want to bring you into the fold.

I want to hold you tight and kiss your soul.

The soul is what makes us different from other forms of life.

Because the soul knows the difference from what’s wrong and what’s right.

The soul, when it’s sad is heavy with blight,

But when it’s happy, is light in its flight.

Every soul has a soul‑mate.

But until you find it, you just have to wait.

When the soul meets its mate there’s an electrical surge.

The two searching for love, move into each other’s souls in one easy merge.
