Jonny Diaz's 'Fool For Love' is a song about the joyful, selfless nature of true love, using the metaphor of being a fool to express wholehearted devotion. The lyrics reference Helen of Troy and the Trojan War to illustrate love's powerful, sometimes irrational, impact. Diaz contrasts his pursuit of wisdom with the willingness to appear foolish for love, suggesting that such love holds a deeper wisdom. The song celebrates the courage to love openly and sacrificially, even when it seems absurd to others. It conveys a sense of freedom and passion in committing fully to love, which can be seen as a reflection of God's love for us.

No I won't be the first
It's been a beautiful curse
Since the day that love was formed
Can you see helen's face
Though an outrageous case
It was love that first launched the war
And yet I'm dying to fight
For a love that is right
Oh a love that would make me a fool
In every sense of the word
Though it may sound absurd
What a joy to be called that for you
I'd be a fool for love
Cause that is what lovers do
I would dance in the rain 'til I was called insane
To prove that my love is true
Oh now I've spent my life
In the pursuit of wise
And it's not like I'm stopping that now
But I'm out of the box
And I'm changing the locks
Cause a fool's love is wisdom somehow
And I'd serenade you in the night
'til I count every star in the sky
And though others my stare well I don't really care
Cause I'd be a fool for...
You are worth ridicule it is so miniscule
To a love that is true
So set me on fire just to prove my desire
To burn ever after for you
