Love Wins

When someone's all alone and standing on the edge Somebody reaches out and pulls 'em in Love wins When someone's running out of places they can run Ashamed of their mistakes and things they've done When someone opens up a door with open arms, says, "Come on in" Love wins Love is patient, love is kind Love don't care who's wrong or right Doesn't envy, doesn't boast, it doesn't quit It's not selfish, it's not proud Love's the noise above the loud It never fails, it forgets and it forgives Love wins When a husband leaves the house and slams the door Hears her say that she don't love him anymore But after 20 years together they thank God they tried again Love wins Love is patient, love is kind Love don't care who's wrong or right It doesn't envy, it doesn't boast, it doesn't quit It's not selfish, it's not proud Love's the noise above the loud It never fails, it forgets and it forgives Love wins When we don't have to teach our kids That beauty's deeper than the skin And peace on earth is more than just a wish When we let each other pray In our own different ways We'll bow our heads and open up our fists Love wins Love wins Love is patient, love is kind Love don't care who's wrong or right Doesn't envy, doesn't boast, it never quits It's not selfish, it's not proud Love's the noise above the loud It never fails, it forgets and it forgives Love wins Love wins
