Love And Theft - Love Wins lyrics

When someone's all alone and
Standing on the edge
Somebody reaches out and pulls 'em in
Love wins when someone's running out of
Places they can run
Ashamed of their mistakes and
Things they've done
When someone opens up a door with
Open arms says come on in love wins

Love is patient, love is kind
Love don't care who's wrong or right
Doesn't envy, doesn't boast, it doesn't quit
It's not selfish, it's not proud
Love's the noise above the loud
It never fails, it forgets and it forgives
Love wins

When a husband leaves the house
And slams the door
Hears her say that she don't love him anymore
But after twenty years together they
Thank god they tried again love wins
Love is patient, love is kind
Love don't care who's wrong or right
It doesn't envy, it doesn't boast
It doesn't quit
It's not selfish, it's not proud
Love's the noise above the loud
It never fails, it forgets and it forgives

Love wins
When we don't have to teach our kids
That beauty's deeper than the skin
And peace on earth is more than just a wish
When we let each other pray
In our own different ways
We'll bow our heads and open up our fists
Love wins

Love wins love is patient, love is kind
Love don't care who's wrong or right
Doesn't envy, doesn't boast, it never quit's
It's not selfish, it's not proud
Love's the noise above the loud
It never fails, it forgets and it forgives
Love wins love wins
