A Thing Called Love

Six foot six he stood on the ground
He weighed 235 pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love
He was the kind of a man that would gamble on luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him crying like a little whipped pup because of love

Can't see it with your eyes
Hold it in your hand
But like the wind, it covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man
This thing called love
It can lift you up
It can let you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time, nothing's ever been found
Stronger than love

Most men are like me, they struggle in doubt
They trouble their mind day in and day out
Too busy with living to worry about a word called love
But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young one close to her breast
Then I thank God that the world's been blessed with a thing called love

Can't see it with your eyes
Hold it in your hand
But like the wind, it covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man
This thing called love
It can lift you up
It can let you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time, nothing's ever been found
Stronger than love
