Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's in the eyes of our children
As they leave for the very first time
And it's in the heart of  a soldier
As he takes a bullet on the front line
It's in the face of a mother
As she takes the force of the blow
And it's in the hands of the father, yeah
As he works his fingers to the bone, yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm standin' under a white flag, oh
Can you see me? Oh, can you see me? Oh
I'm standin' for everything we have, oh
Can you hear me? Oh, can you hear me?
[Verse 3]
This is why we do it, this is worth the pain
This is why we fall down and get back up again
This is where the heart lies, this is from above
Love is this, this is love
Love is why we do it, love is worth the pain
Love is why we fall down and get back up again
Love is where the heart lies, love is from above
Love is this, this is love
[Verse 4]
This is love
This is love
This is love
[Verse 5]
It's in the soul of a city
What it does after it crumbles and burns
And it's in the blood of a hero
To know where he goes, he may never return, hey
[Verse 6]
I'm standin' under a white flag, oh
Can you see me? Oh, can you see me? Oh
I'm standin' for everything we have, oh
Can you hear me? Oh, can you hear me?
[Verse 7]
This is why we do it, this is worth the pain
This is why we fall down and get back up again
This is where the heart lies, this is from above
Love is this, this is love
Love is why we do it, love is worth the pain
Love is why we fall down and get back up again
Love is where the heart lies, love is from above
Love is this, this is love (This is love)
[Verse 8]
This is love, this is love
This is love, this is love
This is love, this is love
This is love, this is love
[Verse 9]
If you could be anywhere that you wanted to be
With anyone that you wanted to be with
Doin' anything that you wanted to do
What would it be, man, and who would it be with you?
Time flies, but you're the pilot
It moves real fast, but you're the driver
It may crash and burn sometimes
[Verse 10]
This is why we do it, this is worth the pain
This is why we fall down and get back up again
This is where the heart lies, this is from above
Love is this (Love is this), this is love (This is love)
Love is why we do it, love is worth the pain
Love is why we fall down and get back up again
Love is where the heart lies, love is from above
Love is this, this is love (This is love)
[Verse 11]
(This is love)
