They say that life ain't easy
They'll say your life's a crime
Destroy up all good reason
How I'm alive

They'll say that nothing matters
Not even your will to survive
Of course I love you baby
'cause I'm alive
Yes, I'm alive

Whenever I call you out
Whenever I draw you round
Whenever is here and now
That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
I'm always there for you
Yeah, I'm always there for you

They'll say you'll lose your nerve soon
To claim identity
Disgrace our sacred promise
With no belief
Oh, how I believe in you

That's the way my love is, for you
That's the way my love is, for you!

I feel a coming age now
I feel a dawn in me
A certain sun keeps rising
On my belief in you

That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
'cause I'm always there for you

That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
'cause I'm always there for you
Yeah, I'm always there for you

    General Comment:best song on the album by far. maybe it's wishful thinking but it kinda sounds like his relationship with his fans. although every time i listen to it, it's about something different. :)

    General Comment:kinda reminds me of George Orwells 1984... the two main characters swear that no matter what the government does to them (they're in a communistic dictatorship) they'll always love each other. except in this version, they seem to keep that promise, while in the book, the government is able to destroy even that.

    over all, it seems to be about an undying love, obviously. a complete trust for someone, a caring that wont be broken.

    General Comment:The corg still has it. I truly believe if this song were on an earlier album that it would have been a hit.
