Running so fast and chasing so hard
trying to see if we can play the right card
he's just so perfect, everything I want
at night it's my very heart that he haunts

dazzling her, buying her presents and gifts
trying to break down her walls and mend rifts
if she will just talk to me give me some time
I know that I can make her mine all mine

why can't they just love us why can't they just see
who I am inside and just love you and me
if they would just give us the time of their day
then we know that we could show them the way

the way to true love and what all that includes
they could just feel the love we exude
we would make them feel safe with our warm embrace
and wipe away all their fears leaving no trace

what we are ignoring is we're working for love
when really love is a gift from above
and what we don't see is they work for it too
but they don't have to work for it from you

we never want what is freely given
because we don't trust that we're really forgiven
we feel guilt and shame and want to make amends
so we punish ourselves and follow these trends

so when you are loving and open in heart
be prepared to be torn up and broken apart
this world is unkind when you love from the core
don't you know that's what they killed Jesus for

but if you never give up and you truly believe
then God always has something up his sleeve
and He can turn fear and despair into hope
He will GIVE you love so you don't have to mope

the moral of this little story you see
you don't have to work for love, just let it be
go be yourself and do something you love
God will open His arms and pour gifts from above
