Love ‘Em Anyway

[Verse 1]
Neighbor down the road,
Waves a different flag.
We don’t see the same,
But he carries a heavy load.
His crops burned in July,
I brought water that day.
He brought hope and faith,
Together we watched it rain.

[Chorus]
Love ‘em anyway,
When the world gets hard.
Angry lines are drawn,
And rising tempers soar.
When the world feels split,
Let your heart be the bridge.
It’s the hardest thing,
To love ‘em anyway.

[Verse 2]
Preacher in the pulpit,
Skeptic in the pew.
One prays for the light,
The other just wants truth.
They hold their children,
When the thunder roars.
In that fearful moment,
They give thanks unto the Lord.

[Chorus]
Love ‘em anyway,
When the world gets hard.
Angry lines are drawn,
And rising tempers soar.
When the world feels split,
Let your heart be the bridge.
It’s the hardest thing,
To love ‘em anyway.

[Bridge]
Hope in dry dirt,
Calm in pouring rain.
Soft voice in shouting,
Hearts beat the same.
Morning brings mercy,
Room at my door.
Reach past our defences,
Open up more.

[Chorus]
Love ‘em anyway,
When the world gets hard.
Angry lines are drawn,
And rising tempers soar.
When the world feels split,
Let your heart be the bridge.
It’s the hardest thing
The hardest thing of all

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Sun sets on anger,
Stars begin to sway.
Hearts can heal the world,
If we love ‘em anyway.
