Love Lives On Lyrics

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

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

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

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
