For everything he did -for all he didn't do
Tears spilled in the night - I will make it right
I'm here to comfort you
For hurtful things he said -for words that were not true
I am here to say love will find a way - we can make it 
through
And it will take a lifetime for the things that you hold 
dear.
It will take a lifetime - 'til our world is fresh and 
clear
It will take a lifetime - God willin' I'II be here
We can keep it true - just for me and you.
No matter who was right - no flatter what went wrong
We can make a start with a hopeful heart
This is just where you belong
For things you've kept inside where no one else could see
Secrets that you've had - both the good and bad
You can share it all with me.
And it will take a lifetime for the things that you hold 
dear
It will take a lifetime -'til our world is fresh and 
clear
It will take a lifetime - god willin' I'II be here
We can keep it true - just for me and you.
