Lyrics:

[English]

This one goes out to the world-changer

Shining your light in the face of danger

Oh, tell us what you know

You're a saint, you're a son, you're a promise keeper

Bottom of the well, still digging down deeper

Oh, how far you gonna go

Chasing down hope

Moving on dreams

Taking that path

Maybe it'll lead you home

Maybe it won't

Nobody knows why your heart is broken

Nobody cries while your prayers are going up

But love does

Nobody walks on the road you're paving

Nobody sees all the souls you're saving

Oh, but love does

Love does

Love does

This is for the one on the front line fighting

Ringing that bell over everybody

Oh, tell us what you know

Knocking down doors in the midnight alley

Looking for a life in a desert valley

Oh, how far you gonna go

Chasing down hope

Moving on dreams

Taking that path

Maybe it'll lead you home

Maybe it don't

Nobody knows why your heart is broken

Nobody cries while your prayers are going up

But love does

Nobody walks on the road you're paving

Nobody sees all the souls you're saving

Oh, but love does

You are a renegade

You're an outlaw of love's crusade

And they don't know who you are

They don't know

They don't know but love does

I'm telling you, love does

Somebody knows

Somebody cries

Somebody feels

Love does

Somebody walks

Somebody sees

Somebody knows

Love does

Love does

Love does

Love does

Love does
