Love Em Anyway

You gotta wonder at this life we live walking around on this earth
Back and forth we pace, furiously, careful not to stir anything up
If we never take a risk, we never stretch - never forgive, never forget
And then aren't we just as strange
As the ones we're pointing at

You step outside of the circle, and after your eyes adjust
You see the headlight of our moon that floats in the darkness up above
Then you remember your good fortune breathing here at all this day
And though you can't remember exactly what you learned
You couldn't say it out loud anyway

First you try and well may fail
Again and again sometimes, to no avail
Until the day you trust the wind and then you start to sail
When you let love illuminate, and you love 'em anyway
When you let love light up your way
And learn to love 'em anyway

They may make you mad, they may make you crazy
May be sad as you, but twice as lazy
They may be on your back or maybe at your door
They could be calling in, or sleeping on the floor
But don't bother tryin' to make sense of none
Just take a deep breath and pray that when it's done, love has won
'Cuz at the other end and no matter what they say
You gotta look 'em in the eyes and love 'em anyway
It's what I hear the prophets say...what I hear the wind explain
