That's What Love Is

It’s a teenager taking ten minutes of time to stop by and visit grandad

its a teacher who stays when the last bell is rang to help a kid struggling in class

It’s a mama who won’t buy herself a new dress cause she’d rather spend it on you

It’s doing the right thing when no one is looking because it’s the right thing to do

 

That’s what love is

Straight from the heart

Giving more than what you get

That’s what love is

 

It’s working twelve hours then rocking your son in your arms til his fever breaks

It’s praying for soldiers you don’t even know fighting to keep us all safe

It’s keeping a promise that you made forever when you could just call it quits

It’s letting go of a grudge you’ve been holding and finding the strength to forgive

 

That’s what love is

Straight from the heart

Giving more than what you get

That’s what love is

 

It’s walking that last mile up a hill to the top

To suffer and die on a cross

 

That’s what love is

Straight from the heart

Giving more than what you get

That’s what love is

 

That’s what love is
