Equality?

Independent
Confused
Woman
Pining away
Refusing to acknowledge
Vulnerability

Liberal
Encouraging
Man
Letting go
Age-old roles, prejudices
Comfortable

Woman longs to be held
Be less strong
Man wants to hold
To be known as strong
To keep safe

Wait for the day
When man and woman agree
Not to be equals
Forget who wrought power
All is fair in love and war?
Forgive
Forget

"The more I hear, the more I fear that might lose each other. Can we skip to part when we come to our senses? Before we go, go too far. Love shouldn't be so hard. Can  we open our hearts, drop our defenses? Find where forgiveness starts. Let's stop where we are and stick to the healing part"- Lyrics from Cece Winans' Healing Part

Hmm, can we discuss this? And what's the meaning of "Libel" in line one of the second verse?
