Love Abides Lyrics

Hey, look how far we've come, do we know who we are?

Stranded on a mountain top trying to catch a falling star

Here's to what we've left behind us, here's to what we've kept inside

May the road that lies before us lead to a place where love abides



I went walking with my baby through the early morning frost

Saw three crosses by the roadside where three young souls were lost

I guess they're flying with the angels,

Jesus took them for a ride high above the Rio Grande,

they'll find a place where love abides



You may cross the barren desert, you must walk your path alone

but a sudden storm may blind you, shake your spirit to the bone

Seeking shelter for a weary heart, somewhere to rest, somewhere to hide

Then somewhere down that troubled road

you find a place where love abides



Our people came across the water with their fearful untamed hearts

standing on a foreign shoreline, praying for a brand new start

Hand in hand across the mountains and the ragin' rivers wide

'til they've reached the distant ocean or found a place where love abides



You may cross the barren desert, you might walk your path alone

but a sudden storm may blind you, shake your spirit to the bone

Seeking shelter for a weary heart, somewhere to rest, somewhere to hide

Then somewhere down that troubled road

you find a place where love abides



Hey, look how far we've come, do we know who we are?

Stranded on a mountain top trying to catch a falling star
