(feat. Phanatik)



[Chorus]

We hear a lot about what love is

You don't hear too much about what it does though

Love gives, and looks out for the next person

And gives out your best, even when they deserve your worst and

Some have a little, some have a lot

It's not about how much you got, the point of the plot

Is if you have any love at all, you need to share that with the have-nots



[Phanatik]

Too many people know about hurts

And spend their lives livin' on the outskirts

Some without work, some without a decent pair of pants and a shirt

Others just on a search for purpose, it ain't strange for pity to meet

kids that grow up in the city streets

That go to bed hungry, three or four nights out of the week

And not because they don't like to eat

The price of life is not cheap, but it feels free for some

But someone's gotta pay for the freedoms we enjoy

You see the military convoys we employ

Both on foreign lands and on American soil

Some serve out of duty, some live out and truly

Embody this thing that's called love, love is unforced

And it runs it's course despite the cost and it never comes up short



[Chorus]



[Phanatik]

They told the man who only owns a few scraps

To pull himself up, by his own boot straps

Now he can't even find two boots that match

So tell me how he's supposed to do that?

No love, they told the boy with his clothes all torn

Early one morn' to stay well and be warm

Ok, they didn't ignore'm

But was it that they couldn't or that they wouldn't do a little more for him?

The father of the family of five

He's jugglin' jobs, struggling to keep his family alive

Tryin' to hold on to his family ties

Needs to be lovingly, nudged to bring his whole family to God

It's not all sob stories

There's a lot of activity that could bring God the Glory

Often donations are made

Or time is spent with orphans or with patients with AIDS

This is love in action, sometimes love is tough actin' like Tenactin

Cause even when it hurts, love will still choose to speak the truth

And won't remain hidden, instead of bringing reproof



[Chorus]



[Phanatik]

They're those who give freely

It's easy for them to share the love that they have with the needy

Then there's the greedy

You gotta earn every smile they give and you never catch a freebee

What is it that makes one man give

And makes another man, put a lock on his, and say "I'm not gon' give?"

Maybe it's the difference in the way that he thinks God forgives

What he thinks he sees, he does such

If he sees he's been forgiven much, he loves much

But if he thinks his sins are mad small

Then he's never seen love so he can't give it at all

To him it's just

As if he's earned everything that he has

And he never needed a gift and he made it without love

But what is it that he has that hasn't actually come down to him from above?



[Chorus]
