Lyrics of 'Love Will Find a Way' by Mike Love

I wanna be good, I wanna do better
Wanna live long but I know I won't live forever
So while I'm alive, I'm gonna make a spark
And I hope that my life will be a light, shining bright for those who are lost in the dark
I wanna give love, I wanna have patience
Wanna feel the animal within, be wild like the wind, but gracious

I'm gonna plant my seeds
I'm gonna watch them grow

And I hope that my forest will restore in us a chorus that was lost long ago
I feel the fire burning
I know the tide is turning our way, though the skies might be gray
In the distance I can see blue, the sun has got to break through someday
And all that's left to say is love will find a way

Wanna hear my people singing, singing songs of redemption
Singing songs of the truth, singing songs of the peaceful warrior nation
Singing songs to the gods, of love and thankfulness
'Cause we are alive and we're striving to thrive and we know that we're blessed
'Cause we are the ones who come to wipe away the poison that's been seeping into the heart, that's keeping us apart

Get down to the heart of the matter, all you're gonna find out is that all that matters is the heart, and at the end of the day
Love will find a way
How we gonna get anywhere, when everybody's running in place
Are we blind or are we just scared, scared we're gonna come face to face
And have to face the things that we've done, come to terms with what we've become

Come around and fix our mistakes, only love can find a way
When the walls are crumbling and that deadlines creeping up
When that debt comes calling, and the sky's falling from above
You can always count on love
I wanna swim seas, I wanna climb mountains
Wanna make angels in the snow, dip my toes in the eternal fountain

Gonna speak the truth, and though I've told some lies
I'm gonna wear my heart out on my sleeve for you to believe the honesty in my eyes
Keep me warm mama

Like a white dove of peace on a battlefield, like a hungry, homeless man sharing his only meal, like a man the doctor's said would die but he was healed and all he did was pray, love will find a way

Like a sunbeam breaking through the storm clouds, like an innocent prisoner breaking out, like a warrior who wants to run in the face of fear but he chooses to stay, love will find a way

Like a rose growing out of the concrete, like a man running marathons with no feet, like a single mother working three jobs just to put food on the plate, love will find a way

Like a deaf man composing a symphony, like an activist who chains herself up to a tree, like a man who quits his job to follow his dreams without a penny to his name, love will find a way

Like a farmer growing crops in the desert sand, like a masterpiece painted with a crippled hand, like a surfer towing in, wearing a grin, into a sixty foot wave, love will find a way

Like a guitar player, playing 'til his fingers bleed, like a piano man with arthritis playing 'til three, like a singer who is hoarse but he still forces himself to take the stage, love will find a way

Like a blind man seeing for the first time, like a songwriter finding meaning in a rhyme, like a poet who uses words as weapons and lives to fight another day, love will find a way

Like a warm fire in winter or a summer breeze, like a child turning her dreams into realities, like a place where race, religion, sex or creed or class don't have a name, love will find a way
