Send+Your+Love

I have several songs I could call favourites, but this one is definitely at the top of my list.

__**Send Your Love**__ is a song written and interpreted by my favourite singer, **Sting.** This song is the second one from his album **__"Sacred Love"__**, released in September 2003.



Sting, whose real name is //Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner,// was born in Wallsend, near Newcastle, in the northern part of England. He first started his musical career as the base player for **The Police**, a popular Pop group of the 1980s. Although the group never officially separated, Sting left it in 1985 to pursue a solo career.

The reason I love Sting and his music so much is that his lyrics (the words of the song) are always very inspirational. They always mean something significant and I believe this is an art that has been lost for too many performers out there today. A musical group I also enjoy very much, for these same reasons, is **U2.**

As an example of what I mean by significant lyrics, here are the lyrics of __**Send Your Love:**__

//**Finding the world in the smallness of a grain of sand**// //**And holding infinities in the palm of your hand**// //**And Heaven's realms in the seedlings of this tiny flower**// //**And eternities in the space of a single hour**//

//**Send your love into the future**// //**Send your love into the distant dawn**//

//**Inside your mind is a relay station**// //**A mission probe into the unknowing**// //**We send a seed to a distant future**// //**Then we can watch the galaxies growing **//

//**This ain't no time for doubting your power**// //**This ain't no time for hiding your care**// //**You're climbing down from an ivory tower**// //**You've got a stake in the world we ought to share**//

//**You see the stars are moving so slowly**// //**But still the earth is moving so fast**// //**Can't you see the moon is so lonely**// //**She's still trapped in the pain of the past**//

//**This is the time of the worlds colliding**// //**This is the time of kingdoms falling**// //**This is the time of the worlds dividing**// //**Time to heed your call**//

//**Send your love into the future**// //**Send your precious love into some distant time**// //**And fix that wounded planet with the love of your healing**// //**Send your love**// //**Send your love**//

//**There's no religion but sex and music**// //**There's no religion but sound and dancing**// //**There's no religion but line and color**// //**There's no religion but sacred trance**//

//**There's no religion but the endless ocean**// //**There's no religion but the moon and stars**// //**There's no religion but time and motion**// //**There's no religion, just tribal scars**//

//**Throw a pebble in and watch the ocean **// //**See the ripples vanish in the distance**// //**It's just the same with all the emotions**// //**It's just the same in every instance**//

//**There's no religion but the joys of rhythm**// //**There's no religion but the rites of Spring**// //**There's no religion in the path of hate**// //**No prayer but the one I sing**//

//**Send your love into the future**// //**Send your precious love into some distant time**// //**And fix that wounded planet with the love of your healing**// //**Send your love**// //**Send your love**//

//**There's no religion but sex and music**// //**There's no religion that's right or winning**// //**There's no religion in the path of hatred**// //**Ain't no prayer but the one I'm singing**//

//**Send your love**// //**Send your love**//
