Love Does
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
...
