Dear Future Wife (LYRICS)

Verse 1

Dear Future Wife,

I pray before I meet you I go blind,

Hmmm, okay, not physically but metaphysically,

I pray that my eyes don’t drown in the sea of your beauty,

That the planet of my heart is not illuminated by the sun of your smile,

That my emotions are not strangled by the curves of your body,

I pray that I may never get so lost in the richness of your eyes I forget about the poverty of life,

That the vacuum of your sight may never make me lose my breath…

Chorus

Verse 2

‘Cause I know the blasphemy of my eyes,

The idolatry of media shrines that stripe you of your substance and glorify the superficial,

I've worshiped in their temples,

With Twerk Prophets, Bikini Priests and Apostles of Lust,

Sacrificed your worth at the altar of porn,

I don’t know how to find you in the garbage bag of my retinas,

‘Cause I've dated girls whose beauty had me way past tipsy…Am drunk!

But when the hangover of their personality hit me it burnt the liver of my hope.

Chorus

Verse 3

I pray I may have the courage to appreciate God’s love that shines through the torch of your service,

For the grace to walk through the hallways of your mind and unlock the doors of heaven’s intellect stashed away,

The faith to look past your physical flaws and appreciate the beauty of your spirit,

And if am ever amazed at your physical beauty, maybe when you're sixty-five with missing teeth and saggy cheeks …may I look at you with the eyes of a love-struck teenager and say, “baby, how you so young and beautiful.”
