Love Lives On

[Verse 1]
I have sailed across the ocean wide
Walked upon the desert sand
Watched the human spirit fly and fall
Wrestled with my demons deep
Fought the devil hand to hand
Walked the road to easy street
And gave it all away

[Verse 2]
I have chased my rainbows, found my gold
Buried deep beneath the words
I once heard a soldier pray
All I want is peace on earth
I’ve brought a child into this world
I teach him to be free and strong
I’ve but to look into his eyes to know

[Chorus]
Love lives on, so they say
It’s the one thing we cannot afford not to give away
Love lives on, so it is told
Worlds will rise and fall and come and go
Love lives on

[Verse 3]
I have watched my brothers laid to rest
Felt their blood rush through my veins
Carried on with no regrets
Knew we’d someday meet again
I’ve hit the bottom and bounced back
To only rise up twice as strong
God only knows how I did that
God only knows indeed

[Verse 4]
I have looked into an old man’s heart
Felt the kindness there within
Finally, did I realize
Beauty lies beneath the skin
I’ve kissed the ground from which I came
And someday will return again
For I am just a messenger, you know

[Chorus]
Love lives on, so they say
It’s the one thing we cannot afford not to give away
Love lives on, so it is told
Worlds will rise and fall and come and go
But love lives on
Love lives on
Oh, love lives on
