Love Wins

[Verse 1]

Sara Mae put lipstick on her face

Hopin' that it might erase

All the shadows in that place

Shaky footsteps on an unlit path

Wondering if the road would lead her back

[Verse 2]

Billy Jones sits at home all alone

Listening for the telephone

Like a dog waiting for a bone

Counting beads on a rosary

Like a man drifting out to sea

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

I know it's been a rough start

But baby, never lose heart

I can't tell you what's around the bend

But life will bring you to your knees again

But I can tell you how the story ends

[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey

Love wins, hey, hey

Love wins, hey, hey

Love wins

Ooh, child

In the end

[Verse 3]

Sara Mae works down at the marketplace

Billy Jones stops in to buy some paper plates

"Cash or credit?", she said to him

He saw her eyes and fell right in

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey

I know it’s been a rough start

But baby, don't lose heart

I can't tell you what's around the bend

Baby, life gon' bring you to your knees again

But I can tell you how the story ends

[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey

Love wins, hey, hey

Love wins, hey, hey

Love wins

Ooh, child

[Bridge]

Sister, hold your head up

And brother take my hand

We’re going walking through the promised land

Hey-dee, hey-dee, hey-dee

High-dee, high-dee, high

We gonna get a piece of the sky

[Chorus]

Love

Love wins, hey, hey

Love wins, hey, hey

Love wins, hey, hey

[Outro]

You know that love

You know that love

You know that love

You know that love

You know that love wins

Oh, in the end
