Love Takes Two
By John Lynch
I Learned a lot from roads that weren’t easy
From nights I had to stand on my own
I Found out love ain’t just a feeling
It’s the way you make somebody home
It ain’t about pride
It ain’t about control
It’s giving your heart
And protecting her soul
When the world gets loud
And the road gets rough
You hold her close
And you don’t give up
She ain’t something to own
She’s a gift from above
And a real man knows
How to fight for love
I’ll be the shelter when the storm rolls through
She’ll be the light when I can’t see truth
I’ll carry the weight when the days get tough
She’ll remind me I’m still enough
It ain’t one heart doing all the work
It ain’t love if one side hurts
I’ll stand
She’ll stand
We’ll rise
We’ll choose
That’s what a man does
And love takes two
I’ll fix what I can
And pray on what I can’t
Keep my boots on the ground
Keep her dreams in my hands
Not walking ahead
Not falling behind
But shoulder to shoulder
Through the test of time
She’ll speak life when I’m running low
She’ll call me higher when I need to grow
And I’ll be the arms where her heart can rest
Give her my worst
But aim for my best
God made love more than a feeling inside
It’s a promise you live
Not a place you hide
I’ll be the shelter when the storm rolls through
She’ll be the light when I can’t see truth
I’ll carry the weight when the days get tough
She’ll remind me I’m still enough
It ain’t one heart doing all the work
It ain’t love if one side hurts
I’ll stand
She’ll stand
We’ll rise
We’ll choose
That’s what a man does
And love takes two
So here’s to the men who still choose to grow
Who learn how to lead with a heart they show
Not with a fist
Not with a chain
But with steady hands and a faithful name
And here’s to the women who don’t let go
Who build up a man and help him grow
When Heaven’s in the middle
And the promise is true
There ain’t no mountain love can’t move
I’ll be the shelter when the storm rolls through
She’ll be the light when I can’t see truth
I’ll carry the weight when the days get tough
She’ll remind me I’m still enough
It ain’t one heart doing all the work
It ain’t love if one side hurts
I’ll stand
She’ll stand
We’ll rise
We’ll choose
That’s what a man does
And love takes two
Yeah I’ll love her strong
And she’ll love me true
That’s what a man does
And love takes two
