The Courage To Love Somebody

The moment I saw you
I couldn't ignore you
I knew I could never turn back
I had to go headfirst down this track

The warnings of danger
From family and strangers
Were only to fall on deaf ears
I had to face my fears

Now you've got to tell me
Do we have enough love
To weather the hard times
'Cause it takes a tough love, enough love

And the courage to love somebody
The power to rise above the odds
And risk a broken heart
The courage to love somebody
The spirit to take the twists and turns
The ups and downs, to learn to fly
On common ground
The good will come
With the courage to love someone

I remember that first night
The feeling was so right
I couldn't believe you could be
The one that's here for me

I never will forget
Your heart was a magnet
Pulling us closer by the beat
You knocked me off my feet

But I gotta tell you
It takes more than passion
Do we have the right stuff
To carry the action, it's more than passion, yeah

And the courage to love somebody
The power to rise above the odds
And risk a broken heart
The courage to love somebody
The spirit to take the twists and turns
The ups and downs, to learn to fly
On common ground
The good will come
With the courage to love someone

We can fly, we can soar
Walk right through love's open door
Any fool can fall in love
But it takes two to rise above, rise above

It's the courage to love somebody
The power to rise above the odds
And risk a broken heart
The courage to love somebody
The spirit to take the twists and turns
The ups and downs, to learn to fly
On common ground
The good will come
With the courage to love someone
