They tell her she's too young
To be a mother to a child
That she's only just begun
To see what life's about
They tell her don't be crazy
He won't get married
You get yourself a college degree
But she can't deny it
The babe inside her
Is truly alive

She says
Because of love
I am willing to give it all up
I am willing to take the plunge
Because of love

The world will never understand
That love is sacrifice
It's more than just romance
It's the reason for our lives
So if they call me crazy
And try to cage me
To get me to betray the truth
Well, I hope I'm ready
To stand and carry
My cross up and say

Because of love
I am willing to give it all up
I am willing to take the plunge
Because of love
I am willing to humbly become
Give my life to lift you up
Because of love

I'm standing here with my heart held out
I'm standing here to declare to the crowd
That I love you 
And I always will
This promise that I make today
I make forever more

Because of love
I am willing to give it all up
I am willing to take the plunge
Because of love
I am willing to humbly become
Give my life to lift you up

Because of love
Because of love
Because of love

Because of love
Because of love
Because of love
