Love Is Gonna Break Through - Chris Rice

Hear a newborn baby cry

Hear the farmers pray for rain

One more soldier gives his life

A homeless man begs for change

But change won’t come easily

What does this have to do with me?

And my heart pounds with a thunder

And I stop and wonder

What should we do with life’s surprises?

(Everyday the sun rises on us!)

Like a swing set in a graveyard,

Like a bloom in the desert sands

(Look at my tremblin' hands!)

'Cause it hits me like lightning

That love must keep fighting

And somehow, every time

Love is gonna break through!

Love is gonna break through!

Love is gonna break through!

Love is gonna break through!

World inside a clear blue sky

Teeming with humanity

Tears and laughter intertwine

Our comedies and tragedies

And History is a runaway

But not so far that Love can’t find and save

And my heart pounds with a thunder

And I stop and wonder

What should we do with life’s surprises?

(Everyday the sun rises on us!)

Like a swing set in a graveyard,

Like a bloom in the desert sands

(Look at my tremblin' hands!)

'Cause it hits me like lightning

That love must keep fighting

And somehow, every time

Love is gonna break through!

Love is gonna break through!

Love is gonna break through!

Love is gonna break through!

It takes my breath, it’s come to this

We all bleed red, you can’t resist

The changing wind, the roaring tide

C’mon, get on the winning side

Love is gonna break through!

Love is gonna break through!

Love is gonna break through!

Love is gonna break through!
