The Will To Love
"The Will To Love" is a song that was playing while Dingo and Matrix battled the Tazmanian Tiger. Matrix was later playing it as the Redemption approached Eastcheap.
Greg Weisman theorized that the song was from the W.I.T.C.H. animated series, that aired in the Gargoyles Universe almost a decade before airing in the real world. [1]
Lyrics
So many strangers on the street.
Yeah, nearly everyone you meet.
Can't relate, can't translate, can't create
A connection. No.
Easier to keep your distance.
Tread the path of least resistance.
Don't engage, keep to your cage, stay offstage
For protection.
Then everything changes.
She's there. Life rearranges.
Winged angel from above...
Helped me find the Will... the Will to love...
The Will to love... The Will to love...
I figured I'd stay on the shelf.
Truth be told, didn't trust myself:
Always fade, don't make the grade, too afraid
Of rejection. Oh...
I didn't think I had the strength
To find a girl on my wavelength.
Just a runt, always punt. No will to hunt
For perfection.
Then everything changes.
She's there. Life rearranges.
Winged angel from above...
Helped me find the Will... the Will to love...
The Will to love... The Will to love...
Game's full of surprises.
Live our share of compromises.
Still when push comes to shove...
She's just the Will to love.
She's just the Will to love.
I found the Will to love.
And everything changes.
She's here. Life rearranges.
Winged angel from above...
She is just the Will... the Will to love.
The Will to love... The Will to love... Oh...
The Will to love...
