lyrics
spring ahead to summer’s glow
falling leaves and winter snow
there is but one true thing I know …
time is ticking, running out
to find the meaning beyond the doubt
we’re swimming upstream in this drought
but love is all around us
love in the turning of the earth,
love in the racing of the wind
love in the shadow of our light,
in the aching of our skin
it’s in the way we chase our sorrows,
hunter’s bow and violin …
we cannot fight it, we’ll never win
love is all around us
all around us …
is the universe conspiring against us
when our worlds come crashing down
or is it just the echo
of our pain turning inside out
as within, so we go without
still, love is all
around us
we cannot fight it, we’ll never win
love in the turning of the earth,
love in the racing of the wind
love in the shadow of our light,
in the aching of our skin
it’s in the way we chase our sorrows,
hunter’s bow and violin …
we cannot fight it, we’ll never win
we cannot fight it, we’ll never win
we cannot fight it, love is all …
it’s all … love is all around us
falling leaves and winter snow
there is but one true thing I know …
time is ticking, running out
to find the meaning beyond the doubt
we’re swimming upstream in this drought
but love is all around us
love in the turning of the earth,
love in the racing of the wind
love in the shadow of our light,
in the aching of our skin
it’s in the way we chase our sorrows,
hunter’s bow and violin …
we cannot fight it, we’ll never win
love is all around us
all around us …
is the universe conspiring against us
when our worlds come crashing down
or is it just the echo
of our pain turning inside out
as within, so we go without
still, love is all
around us
we cannot fight it, we’ll never win
love in the turning of the earth,
love in the racing of the wind
love in the shadow of our light,
in the aching of our skin
it’s in the way we chase our sorrows,
hunter’s bow and violin …
we cannot fight it, we’ll never win
we cannot fight it, we’ll never win
we cannot fight it, love is all …
it’s all … love is all around us
