Be

When all the worst we fear lets fall its weight
 When the gyre widens on and when the wave breaks
 When St. Peter loses cool and bars the gates
 When Atlas acts the maggot, makes his arms shake
 When the birds are heard again in their singin'
 Once atrocity is hoarse from voicin' shame
 And when the earth is trembling on some new beginnin'
 With the same sweet shock of when Adam first came

 Be, be, be, be, be
 Be as you've always been
 Be, be, be, be, be
 Be as you've always been
 (Lover, be good to me)
 Be as you've always been (Lover, be good to me)
 Be like the love that discovered the sin (Lover, be good to me)
 That freed the first man, would do so again
 And, lover, be good to me
 (Lover, be good to me)
 Be that hopeful feeling when Eden was lost (Lover, be good to me)
 It's been deaf to our laughter
 Since the master was crossed (Lover, be good to me)
 Which side of the wall really suffers that cost?
 Oh, lover, be good to me
 ♪
 When the man who gives the order
 Is born next time 'round on the boat sent back
 When the bodyies starvin' at the boarder
 Are on TV givin' people the sack
 Oh, when the sea rises to meet us
 Oh, when there's nothin' left for you and I to do
 Oh, when there's nobody upstairs to receive us
 When I have no kind words left, love for you

 Be, be, be, be, be
 Be as you've always been
 Be, be, be, be, be
 Be as you've always been
 (Lover, be good to me)
 Ah, be love in its disrepute (Lover, be good to me)
 Scorches the hillside
 And salts every root (Lover, be good to me)
 And watches the slowin'
 And starvin' of troops
 And, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
 Be there and you stare as you stand (Lover, be good to me)
 Or be like the rose that you hold in your hand
 That will grow bold in a battered and desolate land
 Oh, lover, be good to me
 Love, won't you be
 Love, won't you be
 Be as you've always been?
 Love, won't you be
 Love, won't you be
 Be as you've always been?

 Love, won't you be
