I wanna be good, I wanna do better Wanna live long, be strong, but I know I won't live forever So while I'm alive, I'm gonna make a spark And I hope that my life will be a light Shining bright for those who are lost in the dark I wanna give love, I wanna have patience Wanna feel the animal within Be wild like the wind, but gracious
I'm gonna plant my seeds I'm gonna watch them grow
And I hope that my forest Will restore in us a chorus that was lost long ago I feel the fire burning I know the tide is turning our way Though the skies might be gray In the distance I can see blue The sun has got to break through someday And all that's left to say is love will find a way
Wanna hear my people singing Singing songs of redemption Singing songs of the truth Singing songs of the peaceful warrior nation Singing songs to the gods, of love and thankfulness 'cause we are alive And we're striving to thrive And we know that we're blessed 'cause we are the ones Who come to wipe away the poison That's been seeping into the heart That's keeping us apart
Get down to the heart of the matter All you're gonna find out Is that all that matters is the heart And at the end of the day Love will find a way How we gonna get anywhere When everybody's running in place Are we blind or are we just scared Scared we're gonna come face to face And have to face the things that we've done Come to terms with what we've become
Come around and fix our mistakes Only love can find a way When the walls are crumbling And that deadlines creeping up When that debt comes calling And the sky's falling from above You can always count on love I wanna swim seas, I wanna climb mountains Wanna make angels in the snow Dip my toes in the eternal fountain
Gonna speak the truth, and though I've told some lies I'm gonna wear my heart out on my sleeve For you to believe the honesty in my eyes Keep me warm mama
Like a white dove of peace on a battlefield Like a hungry, homeless man sharing his only meal Like a man the doctor's said would die But he was healed and all he did was pray Love will find a way
Like a sunbeam breaking through the storm clouds Like an innocent prisoner breaking out Like a warrior who wants to run in the face of fear But he chooses to stay, love will find a way
Like a rose growing out of the concrete Like a man running marathons with no feet Like a single mother working three jobs Just to put food on the plate, love will find a way
Like a deaf man composing a symphony Like an activist who chains herself up to a tree Like a man who quits his job to follow his dreams Without a penny to his name, love will find a way
Like a farmer growing crops in the desert sand Like a masterpiece painted with a crippled hand Like a surfer towing in, wearing a grin Into a sixty foot wave, love will find a way
Like a guitar player, playing 'til his fingers bleed Like a piano man with arthritis playing 'til three Like a singer who is hoarse But he still forces himself to take the stage Love will find a way
Like a blind man seeing for the first time Like a songwriter finding meaning in a rhyme Like a poet who uses words as weapons And lives to fight another day, love will find a way
Like a warm fire in winter or a summer breeze Like a child turning her dreams into realities Like a place where race, religion Sex or creed or class don't have a name Love will find a way
