lyrics

Liberty kissed the seed of a wish to see how it would grow,
and Justice wondered when he'd come to show
the babe of a tree just what it would need to free from freedom's dream
of natural law being a flaw she'd seen.

It's love, it's love, it's love
That makes your Freedom Just,
Your will be what you must
It's love, it's love, it's love

Justice then knew just what he must do to let his wisdom guide:
To dress up as the most delightful one
for Liberty to forever choose his dwelling to reside;
The two to rule, their minds aligned as one.

With infinite days, all possible plays, Liberty sat by chance.
She wondered who could match this great expanse.
Then catching her eye, from a twinkling sky, came forth a being so
enrapturing she was captured by his glow...

And Justice spoke:

"Oh darling I do see how you must choose this moment for yourself,
so to add unto I offer you my wealth.
Choose what you wish and I'll cherish your kiss, as long as you can love
the natural laws that nurture from above."

Liberty saw how Justice For All could limit her expanse,
but as she looked into his honest eyes
she wanted no more than what she adored: his truthful, loving glance
to bless her choice, and let her voice comprise

Her love, her love, her love was Freedom's jubilee
As Justice willed his peace,
in love, in love. In love,
as just as is free.
