Love is not a place
To come and go as we please
It's a house we enter in
And then commit to never leave
So lock the door behind you
Throw away the key
We'll work it out together
Let it bring us to our knees
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
If we try to leave may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for
To some, love is a word that they can fall into
But when they're falling out
Keeping that word is hard to do
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
If we try to leave may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for
Love will come to save us, if we'll only call
He will ask nothing from us, but demand we give our all
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
If we try to leave may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for
I would fight for you, would you fight for me?
It's worth fighting for.
(Love is Not a Fight by Warren Barfield)
This song came on Pandora and it hit me. What do we see love as? Do we take it for granted? Do we see it as something petty and naive? Or something passionate and real? Has the word "love" lost all it's meaning? I watch these movies like Tangled and my hopeless romantic self comes out and wishes that I could find my own Eugene Fitzherbert! I watch all these love stories and just wish that maybe my life could be like a Disney fairy tale, where every one lives happily ever after. Unfortunately, life is not a Disney fairy tale. But it IS a story, and everyone's is different.
"You're a teenager! You don't know what love is!" So, at what age does somebody REALLY know what love is? 30? 40? 50? Does anybody really and truly comprehend love? I may not "know what love is" but I do know the people that I do love and what I would do for those people. I know how to love somebody and how to show love to every one. Love is something that anyone can do. Whether you be 65 or 3 years old. Love is real and true, and probably one of the most difficult things in life. Love is something you have to work for. It's not easy. It's going to be really hard. But love is something that is worth it.
Love is not a fight, but it IS worth fighting for. Think about the people you in your life that you care about and love. Have you told them that lately? Even if you have, tell them again! Love is what makes the world go round. Don't take it for granted. Don't just throw around the word, because then it won't mean anything. When you tell somebody you love them, mean it. Be real about it. Love everyone. And love yourself. Because love is worth fighting for.
