/

about

This song mirrors the desires of two females, the Virgin Mary and a teenage girl. The title "Sacred Love" embraces the innocence of a young girl's longing.

lyrics

Two girls, two girls discover,
Sacred secret of love divine
Two loves, from two different times,
Ancient tale of hope
One teenage fear
A secret from a virgin holy
The other secret adolescent dreams
Two loves found.

Virgin, immaculate
Conceives a child, a child divine
Teenage temptation
Her flesh or taken, her deepest longing.
Two women feel resisting desire
To love and whether they are worthy
Sacred love.

Two girls, two girls discover
Sacred secret of love divine
Two loves, from two different times
Both divine secrets, but never found.
A secret from a virgin holy
Another secret from a teenage dream
Sacred love.
