The Courage To Love

You're gonna give me an answer to what's the measure of a man
From the softness of his heart to the hardness of his hand
Its always been the same old question ever since this world began
But a man can't learn a lesson if he don't understand

Any fool can pull the trigger, anyone can start a fight
But to love is so much bigger, it goes beyond black or white
And if we're gonna give our children a future that is bright
Then the truth must be the answer, and love must be the light

The hardest thing you'll ever do is tell someone you're sorry
You'll never be the bravest man if you can't admit to sin
In what you do in what you say
The strength it's gonna take to stay
Comes from somewhere high up above
That's the courage to love

If you're gonna give yourself somebody else
Then you gotta love someone more than yourself

The hardest thing you'll ever do is tell someone you're sorry
You'll never be the bravest man if you can't admit to sin
In what you do in what you say
All the pain to wash away
Comes from somewhere high up above
It's the power, it's the courage
Oh, it's beautiful!
It's the courage to love
