Let go long ago
Thinking I knew everything
I let love in my soul
Started listening to the choir sing
When I laid down all my pride
Was a death that saved my life
And that's how I know
The darkest nights still end with the sunrise

'Cause love's got a way
Of bringing healing to a heart in pain
Making beauty from the ashes
Breaking chains one after another
Putting old lies to shame

Love's got a way
Of looking straight into the eyes of hate
Still believing that a world can change
Hold on my sisters and brothers
The mountain looks too great
But love's got a way

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, love's got a way
Oh-oh, oh-oh

The truth of its nature
It's always give and never take
It flows with that freedom
Surrendering itself away
Carves canyons through the stone
Tells the rivers to run home
And that's how I know
There's a hand in mine
Walking this long road

Love's got a way
Of bringing healing to a heart in pain
Making beauty from the ashes
Breaking chains one after another
Putting old lies to shame

Love's got a way
Of looking straight into the eyes of hate
Still believing that a world can change
Hold on my sisters and brothers
The mountain looks too great
But love's got a way

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, love's got a way
Oh-oh, oh-oh

I'm gettin' out of the way of love
I'm gettin' out of the way of love
Oh, I'm lettin' go and learning to trust you
I'm gettin' out of the way of love
I'm lettin' love do what it does
Gettin' out of the way of love
Of love
Of love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Love's got a way
Love's got a way
Of bringing healing to a heart in pain
Making beauty from the ashes
Breaking chains one after another
Putting old lies to shame

Love's got a way
Of looking straight into the eyes of hate
Still believing that a world can change
Hold on my sisters and brothers
The mountain looks too great
But love's got a way

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, love's got a way
Oh-oh, oh-oh
