love will find a way

i wanna be good

i wanna do better

wanna live long but i know i won't live forever

so while i'm alive

i'm gonna make a spark

and i hope that my life will be a light

shining bright for those who are lost in the dark

i wanna give love

i wanna have patience

wanna feel the animal within

be wild like the wind

but gracious

i'm gonna plant my seeds

i'm gonna watch them grow

and i hope that my forest will restore in us a chorus that was lost long ago

i feel the fire burning

i know the tide is turning our way

though the skies might be gray

in the distance i can see blue

the sun has got to break through someday

and all that's left to say is love will find a way

wanna hear my people singing

singing songs of redemption

singing songs of the truth

singing songs of the peaceful warrior nation

singing songs to the gods

of love and thankfulness

'cause we are alive and we're striving to thrive and we know that we're blessed

'cause we are the ones who come to wipe away the poison that's been seeping into the heart

that's keeping us apart

get down to the heart of the matter

all you're gonna find out is that all that matters is the heart

and at the end of the day

love will find a way

how we gonna get anywhere

when everybody's running in place

are we blind or are we just scared

scared we're gonna come face to face

and have to face the things that we've done

come to terms with what we've become

come around and fix our mistakes

only love can find a way

when the walls are crumbling and that deadlines creeping up

when that debt comes calling

and the sky's falling from above

you can always count on love

i wanna swim seas

i wanna climb mountains

wanna make angels in the snow

dip my toes in the eternal fountain

gonna speak the truth

and though i've told some lies

i'm gonna wear my heart out on my sleeve for you to believe the honesty in my eyes

keep me warm mama

like a white dove of peace on a battlefield

like a hungry

homeless man sharing his only meal

like a man the doctor's said would die but he was healed and all he did was pray

love will find a way

like a sunbeam breaking through the storm clouds

like an innocent prisoner breaking out

like a warrior who wants to run in the face of fear but he chooses to stay

love will find a way

like a rose growing out of the concrete

like a man running marathons with no feet

like a single mother working three jobs just to put food on the plate

love will find a way

like a deaf man composing a symphony

like an activist who chains herself up to a tree

like a man who quits his job to follow his dreams without a penny to his name

love will find a way

like a farmer growing crops in the desert sand

like a masterpiece painted with a crippled hand

like a surfer towing in

wearing a grin

into a sixty foot wave

love will find a way

like a guitar player

playing 'til his fingers bleed

like a piano man with arthritis playing 'til three

like a singer who is hoarse but he still forces himself to take the stage

love will find a way

like a blind man seeing for the first time

like a songwriter finding meaning in a rhyme

like a poet who uses words as weapons and lives to fight another day

love will find a way

like a warm fire in winter or a summer breeze

like a child turning her dreams into realities

like a place where race

religion

sex or creed or class don't have a name

love will find a way
