lyrics

Ain’t It Funny… (The Love Song)

What does love look like?
To me it's the look on her face
And that is the place to start
One glance is a window inside her heart
Her love won't depart
Man, she loves through deep scars
So please remember her name
The one God said you can trust with your pain
The pain ran deep but our union is stealth
Our love has given me emotional wealth
A chain-link fence of emotional health
That only pushes me to love myself

Help me see what she sees
‘Cause she thinks I should be free
Her heart loves so sweetly
It's no cliché she completes me

Ain't it funny how love...
Ain't it funny how love can change your vision

Curious, I'm drawn to a myriad of frozen faces
The war is on, love versus paper chases
Haste is the seed that leads me to push away the needy and the greedy out of reach
A hull breach is triggered by silent stares scream(ing) for solace, space and safety
Faintly hear the cry for company
Pause and realize this is why God created me
A lonely one comes from the cold, rests for a time, waiting behind the yellow line
I speculate with God’s eyes
It's right there in front of me - Jewels in a labourers disguise

Help me see what He sees
‘Cause He thinks we should be free
His heart loves so deeply
I want to dive in the deep sea

Ain't it funny how love...
Ain't it funny how love can change your vision
