Lyrics

Love Always Wins

I saw a man on TV say the truth is not the truth
Have you heard of Nineteen Eighty-Four?
Bullies and clowns are tearing us apart
I refuse to fight their little war

The high road is lonely but it’s the only way home

The game seems to change but the rules never do
I can tell you right now how it ends
It’s not the parade, it’s the way that you play
Love always wins
Love always wins

The Civil War and the Grapes of Wrath, ’68 and then Watergate
I don’t think we’ve learned a thing
We lost Martin and Aretha, we lost R-E-S-P-E-C-T
But I still have a dream
I will be kind and I’ll try to find
Somewhere that we can agree

The high road is lonely but it’s the only way home

The game seems to change but the rules never do
We already know how it ends
It’s not the parade, it’s the way that you play
Love always wins
Love always wins

Late in the night, in the whippoorwill wind
I pray that we’ll all come together again

The sun always rises and walls always fall
And love always wins
Love always wins
