Love Takes Heart

Hate comes easy

Love takes heart

Yeah

It's easy getting bitter

When your whole world falls apart

Hate comes easy

Love takes strength

Staying positive is harder

But it's worth it in the end

So yeah

So I keep my head high

Even when the days grey

Trying to find the sunshine

Standing in the rain

Hate comes easy

Love takes heart

Yeah

I'd rather be the light

Than settle for the dark

Yo, yo

Hate comes easy

To a heart unloved

Everybody wants peace

But won't reach for a hug

Everybody wants light

But they sit in the shade

Throw stones at the sky

Then complain when it rains

I used to keep my heart

Locked up in a cage

Thinking being guarded

Was the only way to stay safe

But pain without purpose

Turns the heart toxic

So I had to face myself

And change the whole process

Every time I chose truth

When it felt easier to lie

That was grace that was strength

That was faith in the climb

Sometimes your own shadow

Is the battle you fight

Trying to level with yourself

In the middle of the night

I've been crushed, I've been lost

I've been far from the start

Still, I write these lines

For the ones in the dark

Hate comes easy

Love takes heart

It's easy getting bitter

When your whole world falls apart

Hate comes easy

Love takes strength

Staying positive is harder

But it's worth it in the end

So I keep my head high

Even when the days grey

Trying to find the sunshine

Standing in the rain

Hate comes easy

Love takes heart

I'd rather be the light

Than settle for the dark

I'm not here to criticize

Or shame who fell

Cause I've been low enough

To know that road too well

What are we doing

If we don't go all in

If we don't choose love

When the cold comes calling

I can't slow time

I can only write lines

Try to realign tides

Put some hope in the rhyme

People never ask why

I treat this do or die

I've seen too many souls

Lose the light in their eyes

I don't know your story

I don't know your fight

I just know we all need

A little more light

Change ain't quick

It ain't clean

It ain't always sweet

But peace comes to the ones

Who keep love on repeat

I'm not one to run

From the love that we need

I know hate is easy

So I'm trying to see

Why

Hate comes easy

Love takes heart

It's easy getting bitter

When your whole world falls apart

Hate comes easy

Love takes strength

Staying positive is harder

But it's worth it in the end

So I keep my head high

Even when the days grey

Trying to find the sunshine

Standing in the rain

Hate comes easy

Love takes heart

I'd rather be the light

Than settle for the dark

Hate comes easy

Love takes heart

It's easy getting bitter

When your whole world falls apart

Hate comes easy

Love takes strength

Staying positive is harder

But it's worth it in the end

So I keep my head high

Even when the days grey

Trying to find the sunshine

Standing in the rain

Hate comes easy

Love takes heart

I'd rather be the light

Than settle for the dark

Yeah, I'd rather be the light

Than settle for the dark
