I don't often get startled by a twist of phrase, particularly not by song lyrics. I'm too widely read and too jaded. Once in a while, though something leaps out in a moment of half-paid attention.
Love it will not betray you
Dismay or enslave you, it will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design, an alignment, a cry
Of my heart to see,
The beauty of love as it was made to be
From Mumford & Son's Sigh No More.

Beautiful. I also love Little Lion Man.
It's from Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing, Act 5 Scene 4.
