It's the only thing worth life and death.

It's the first moment and the final breath.

It's a broken heart keeping a solemn vow

And a lost soul being found.

You pray for faith when it's hard to believe.

You choose to stay when it's easy to leave

And when hope is gone you're the one who keeps holding on.


Chorus 


That's what love is

When you give until there's nothing left

And it makes you give the very best.

That's what love is.

It can make you laugh and make you cry.

It can let you down and lift you up so high

When you find the only reason left to live.

That's what love is.


It's the dream you give up for someone else.

It's being strong when you're weak yourself.

Though it tears you up you trust again.

Hatred loses and forgiveness wins.

You turn your cheek when you want to fight.

Sell all you have and lay down your life

And when hope is gone you're the one who keeps holding on.


Chorus 


It's reaching out and holding on so someone else will know.

Love is in the not letting go.


Chorus
