This song says it all....
This song just blew me away today after really listening to the lyrics. I've heard it before but guess I never really listened to the words, which is weird for me since I love lyrics and try to learn them if it's a song I really like. How can a song just pull your soul out and leave you feeling like you've been rode hard and put away wet??
Heaven Help by Lenny Kravitz
There comes a time
To be free of the heart
I wanna be ready
Ready to start
On a love journey
Got places to go
Made up my mind
And I have got to let you know
Heaven help the heart
That lets me inside
Heaven help the one
Who comes in my life
Heaven help the fool
That walks through my door
'cause I decided right now
I'm ready for love
A funny feeling's coming
Over me
Now I'm inspired and open to being
In a love place
But it's out of my hands
I'm telling you baby that you got to understand
Heaven help the heart
That lets me inside
Heaven help the one
Who comes in my life
Heaven help the fool
That walks though my door
'cause I decided right now
I'm ready for love
Ready for love
I can't see what's out there for me
And I know love offers no guarantee
I'll take a chance and i'm
Telling you something babe
I got to let you know
Heaven help the heart
That lets me inside
Heaven help the one
Who comes in my life
Heaven help the fool
That walks through my door
'cause I decided right now
I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Take a chance
Take the chance on love
The heart, the fool
I guess the reason this song has affected me is because in May I'll have been divorced 10 years. I shut down for all of the years that my sons were with me and since my baby moved out last year, I've allowed myself some indulgences. I'm ready for love....again!

great lyrics, I am a big Kravitz fan.......it's amazing how certain lyrics can conjur up memories or feelings.....
Good for you!
Charlie-music is emotional to me. My parents started it w/me listening to Nat King Cole, 5th Dimension, Dionne Warwick, Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass, etc. Then I became my own person when I was introduced to the likes of Ohio Players, Chicago, Dobbie Brothers, etc. I love music, any kind of music...except country!!
Ian - thanks, and thanks for stopping by :).
Normie - Kravitz is HOT, and then he sings...what's not to love :).
good for you afromabq (that rhymes)
now I want to hear the song.
Music... it's poetry for the soul. It also got me through driving this weekend. That and stand-up comedy.
So, just fyi, I wanted to let you know that I am caving and am going to be (what I'd like to think) is the bigger person here, and just go for the Steelers. Who am I to deny you happiness?
Jerry - you poet you!
Brat - why didn't you just cave in earlier so you could save yourself some grief - you're so young :). Hi hita!
proceed with caution...
Let's all sit around a campfire and sing cum by yah... gag me!
