This Seems Like The Time (Rondeau Redoublé)



This seems like the time of destruction and of war
where you are far more than just dear to me
and to the depth of my heart I do you adore,
do pray that God will turn things right to be,

where locked-down now no person is really free.
Reports tell about an explosion in Lebanon and of gore
and more than any other thing I want you to see.
This seems like a time of destruction and of war

where I do China for not stopping a killing thing deplore
and over and over again the UN and China asks for unity.
but no one can the deaths of too many loved ones ignore.
Where you are far more than just dear to me,

we do on so many lovely things in life agree,
do violence, robbery and all ill things foreswore,
where we do love each other with sincerity,
and to the depth of my heart I do you adore.

Perfect to me is all your imperfections and every flaw,
where mortal we remain as members of humanity
but this love is something that remains forevermore
and I do pray that God will turn things right to be,

where to me you have got picture-perfect beauty
and I ask Him for a chance to love you much more,
that He will return to everyone liberty,
and I pray that God will the world again restore,
this seems like the time.
