   He said that you were playing games   
   But I and you both know better:   
   Through passion heart on life makes claim   
   And makes false manacles to shatter   
      
   He said that you were playing games,   
   But I know wicked game he's playing   
   Which racket without stop or shame   
   The people played for three millenia:   
      
   Of treating you most terribly   
   Until, in anguish, you be tempted   
   Or broken; which would prove the lie   
   That women are to be mistreated -   
      
   He said that you were playing games   
   But I'm not playing; I am willing   
   To love you and you to defend   
   Until he stops, or else he kills me.   
      
   Let's play this game, this game of life,   
   Let's play this game while we're still here:   
   Love cuts like spear - like a knife -   
   And by it overcome is fear   
      
   Let's play, sweet love! In air and sun   
   And by the ocean iridescent:   
   You're strong and beautiful and young   
   And your soul shimmers incandescent   
      
   And when the people can espy   
   This game of love - this game of beauty -   
   Let their spirits also fly   
   And see all rackets stand refuted.
