I Am A Love

Ehsan Sehgal

I am a very strange person
You will understand me
After years and years
I keep my heart
Pure and clean
With my tears
And then enters
The Divine love
That is my life
That is my wealth
That is my power
That is my strength
I am the King of that Kingdom
O' my friend
You are senseless
I am not poor
I am a love I am a love
