I let go long ago
Thinking I knew everything
I let love in my soul
Started listening to the choir sing

When I laid down all my pride
Was a death that saved my life
And that's how I know
The darkest nights still end with the sun rise

'Cause love's got a way
Of bringing healing to a heart in pain
Making beauty from the ashes
Breaking chains one after another
Putting old lies to shame
Love's got a way
Of looking straight into the eyes of hate
Still believing that a world can change
Hold on my sisters and brothers
The mountain looks too great
But love's got a way

Oh, oh, whoa, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, love's got a way
Oh, oh, whoa, oh

The truth of its nature
Is always give and never take
It flows with that freedom
Surrendering itself away
Carves canyons through the stone
Tells the rivers to run home
And that's how I know
There's a hand in mine walking this long road

Love's got a way
Of bringing healing to a heart in pain
Making beauty from the ashes
Breaking chains one after another
Putting old lies to shame
Love's got a way
Of looking straight into the eyes of hate
Still believing that a world can change
Hold on my sisters and brothers
The mountain looks too great
But love's got a way

Oh, oh, whoa, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, love's got a way
Oh, oh, whoa, oh

I'm getting out of the way of love
I'm getting out of the way of love
I'm letting go and learning to trust
I'm letting love do what it does
I'm getting out of the way of love
Of love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Love's got a way
Of bringing healing to a heart in pain
Making beauty from the ashes
Breaking chains one after another
Putting old lies to shame
Love's got a way
Of looking straight into the eyes of hate
Still believing that a world can change
Hold on my sisters and brothers
The mountain looks too great
But love's got a way

Oh, oh, whoa, oh
Love's got a way
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, hey
