It Was Love Sooner or later what we get Is that what we got was love To get it maybe with regret The love our life was made of All that made any sense of it Sooner or later we see Better late than never and yet Sooner the better to know How to go on at least knowing Why the pieces of us fit To get how love is why we are Love is what it means to be Between us how we got this far Why we go on when we go How until then we keep going How we get through what we do The meaning of humanity Is between the me and you Of you and me becoming we By loving one another Becoming us ultimately Now we know how we got through What took so long but made us strong Alongside along the way If only seeing from afar Being with us anyway Because it was love all along We reach out to each other As the kind who find we belong Our humankind is showing How we got what not to forget The love our life was made of All that made any sense of it What we get is it was love Steven Curtis Lance
