Love Takes Time

Preacher on the corner says the kingdom's comin'

Say a prayer and you'll get right in

TV selling that "young forever"

Call 1-800, put your credit card in

Oh, we all wanna belong

All wanna be the cool kid, know the cool songs

Yeah, we got something to prove

Putting miles on tread, looking for the truth

But love takes time and time takes working it out

All night till the sun comes up

Gotta go through the storm to get to the shine

Life takes living and love takes time, alright

I saw a picture hanging on the wall

Grandpa, four tours, rank on his sleeve

Blood, sweat, and tears, all ninety-nine years

He said to get to the gold, you gotta go through some heat

But love takes time and time takes working it out

All night till the sun comes up

Gotta go through the storm to get to the shine

Life takes living and love takes time

Love takes grace but grace don't taste that great

When you think you're always right

You gotta go through the thorns to get to the wine

Life takes living and love takes time, alright

Alright, yeah

Alright, yeah

Alright

Oh, we all wanna belong

All wanna be the cool kid, know the cool songs

Yeah, we got something to prove

Putting miles on tread, looking for the truth

But love takes time and time takes working it out

All night till the sun comes up

Gotta go through the storm to get to the shine

Life takes living and love takes time, alright

Alright

Alright

Alright

Life takes money but money can't buy more

Of what you wish you had at the end of your life

Playing catch with the kids, drinking beer with a friend

Or kissing your whole world one more time, alright
