Verse 1
I don’t know where we get the idea
To place conditions on love that are based in fear
Do we live our lives, do we get our cue
From a television, video point of view?
Verse 2
Where forever can mean a year or two
Stay together is for a precious few
Everybody’s worried, everybody’s in a hurry
Sometime’s we gotta stop
And talk about real love
Chorus
Love is patient, love is kind
Love is gentle and you’ll find
Doesn’t keep a list of wrongs
Not at least in this love song
Love is hopeful, love believes
1 Corinthians 13
Love is Christ at Calvary
That is love that sets you free
Verse 3
Well there’s an industry dedicated to our looks
There are expensive creams and diet books
Say we love ourselves more if we’re looking fine
They’re only thinking about their bottom line
Verse 4
‘Cause it’s inside out not outside in
Beauty goes so much deeper than skin
Everybody’s worried, everybody’s in a hurry
Sometime’s we gotta stop
And talk about real love
Chorus
Bridge
Magazines, beauty queens, 10 years’ time won’t mean a thing
Superstars, foreign cars, what does fame and fortune bring?
Not happiness, not more success, not peace of mind, not a life more blessed
Magazines, beauty queens, 10 years’ time they’re faded dreams
Verse 5
Love is a word like no other
Can be used to encourage a sister or a brother
Can make you feel high like you can touch the sky
But when conditions are attached the stakes are high
