Courage of Love

Jerry Jeff Walker
A love for others shouldn't lack in courage
Or shadows thicked in anger hold you down
Your love is always traveling there beside you
With the strength to turn this world around
In your mind you're free and love can blossom
In solitude you cultivate its range
You have in sight a life all men have dreamed of
You seek to make it happen in your days
On the street you meet with strung emotions
You've more respect for him than he himself
Your open gift of love for him's confusing
But love transcends while hatred fools itself
The way you live each thought is how you're moving
The direction of your dreams is where you go
The courage of your love to have importance
Is all you really need or have to show
A love for others shouldn't lack in courage
Or shadows thicked in anger hold you down
Your love is always traveling there beside you
With the strength to turn this world around
