Courage of Love - Jerry Jeff Walker

A love for others shouldn’t lack in courage

Or shadows thicked in anger hold you down

Your love is always traveling there beside you

With the strength to turn this world around

In your mind you’re free and love can blossom

In solitude you cultivate its range

You have in sight a life all men have dreamed of

You seek to make it happen in your days

On the street you meet with strung emotions

You’ve more respect for him than he himself

Your open gift of love for him’s confusing

But love transcends while hatred fools itself

The way you live each thought is how you’re moving

The direction of your dreams is where you go

The courage of your love to have importance

Is all you really need or have to show

A love for others shouldn’t lack in courage

Or shadows thicked in anger hold you down

Your love is always traveling there beside you

With the strength to turn this world around
