Lyrics by Rick Florian, Billy Smiley, & Mark Gersmehl.
They say we're all goody two-shoes
Bound up in our ancient rules
Eyes covered up, fingers in our ears
Motivated by our fears
Is it fiction, is it true
Are we living by what we can't do
Choosing the chains of a martyr slave
Got one foot in the grave
We don't need that attitude!
Ohh — no taboo!
Ohh
We've got a Lord that is alive
Why would we want to just survive?
No taboo!
Look again there are no chains (no taboo)
He tore the veil of our fear away (no taboo)
Love is the heart of all those rules
Don't feel the weight, if we choose
The love of life, like a Holy dance
Love that gives and takes a chance
The story ends in victory
The people of God have been set free
To find the life meant for you and me — yeah!
Ohh — No taboo!
Ohh
Ohh — No taboo!
Ohh
We've got a Lord that is alive
Why would we want to just survive?
No taboo!
{Repeat}
Ooo, love that gives, love that gives and takes a chance.
The love of life, a Holy dance.
Ooh yeah!
Right before your eyes...
Aaahhh!
