Six foot s ix, he stood on the ground
He weighed two h undred and thirty five pounds
But I saw that g iant of a man brought do wn to his knees by lov e
He was the kind of a m an that would gamble on luck
Look you in the e ye and never back up
But I saw him c rying like a little whipped pu p because of lov e
You can't see it with your e yes, hold it in your ha nd
But like the w ind that covers our la nd
Strong enough to r ule the heart of any ma n, this thing called lov e
It can lift you u p, never let you do wn
Take your w orld and turn it all ar ound
Ever since t ime nothing's ever been fo und that's stronger than lov e
Most me are like me, they struggle in doubt
They trouble their mind day in and day out
Too busy with living to worry about, a word called love.
But when I see a Mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank God that this world's been blessed by a thing called love
