"...when we give it / We get it because love grows when we live it"

The Thing About Love The thing about love is when we give it We get it because love grows when we live it Giving love away is how we get more Because loving is what we are living for The meaning of life and reason we live Who would be lost unless we found Ourselves in the selves of those around As we do so we can see our way through As through each other we know what to do Love is the way we care as much For others as us and talk by touch Why we dare to care and how we forgive In the process receiving more than we give As by being better than we are We overextend ourselves but not too far And dare to care enough to try To not be alone before we die Reaching each other by reaching for the sky Fear resists love but we feel no regret When we find we get it as the it we get Our nights can be long with nightmares and yet Love is why we dream and how our dreams come true And love is why I wrote this for you If there is nothing more than this And all we have is love We find all we need in a kiss To know the meaning of The infinite embraced within the small The ultimate in an intimate action The riddle and the wonder of it all Explained to our satisfaction Love is the courage to call As well as the hope to respond And in the end love is all In all continuing beyond What we can see to be what we will be Love is the who we are of you and me Everything we have ever been As well as all we are We overextend ourselves but not too far And those who love know what I mean However we fall love is how we rise Love lifts to create what fear destroys Of its beautiful openly secret joys Spinning to music the wool of noise Causing reality to realize Now and spring from then to bring another day To find God reflected in each other's eyes And to see love is why we are anyway The thing about love is when we give it We get it because love grows when we live it +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
