Her parents had nothing; she remembers
Living below the corner store.
Handed down a legacy of poverty,
She learned the art of despair.

She learned to receive ... nothing,
Especially love.
And later on the question
Whispered like a sparrow in her ear,
Burned like a fire in her spirit ...

Will I find love?
What do I have to do to find love?
Must I take it from you to find love?
What will I have to go through to find love?
Will my heart know the way to find love?
Could it happen today?
Is there Someone who hears me pray?

His parents had everything; he remembers
Living above the skyline.
Inheriting a legacy of possessions,
He learned the art of despair.

He learned to receive ... everything
Except love.
And later on the question
Roared like a lion in his ear,
Oh, it burned like a fire in his spirit:

Will I find love?
What do I have to do to find love?
Must I take it from you to find love?
What will I have to go through to find love?
Will my heart know the way to find love?
Could it happen today?
Is there Someone who hears me pray?

Somewhere out there, I know it can't be very far ...
If I try, I can hear it with my heart;
Somewhere out there, beyond the hunger and the pain,
I know You're there -- I can hear You call my name!

Love! All my heart has to do to find love
Is to give it to You to find love!
All the searching is through to find love!
Every prayer that I prayed to find love
Led me here to this place
To my Someone who hears me pray!

All that I have to do to find love
Is to reach out to You to find love!
All the searching is through to find love.
Every prayer that I prayed to find love
Led me here to this place
To my Someone who hears me pray!
