Love Is Kind

How come love was simpler when I could barely stand?
 Worrying was harder when I had to hold your hand
 'Cause my two feet hadn't yet learned how to walk
 And my own voice hadn't yet come out to talk
 But I knew love because I knew you
 And I believed that everything you told me
 Would come out true
 'Cause love is patient, and love is kind
 Love delights in the truth and is all you need to find
 But as I grew older, I learned to complicate
 Things you made so simple and I did some things I hate
 And I became so afraid of making mistakes
 'Cause one hard fall is all that it takes
 To make you question the man you thought you'd be
 And I began to question the bright things you see in me
 But love is patient, and love is kind
 Love doesn't keep a record of what's behind
 And I've heard my strength comes from your joy
 Maybe that's why I felt stronger when I was a boy
 Maybe I grew up too fast, or maybe I never did
 But I learned to bury and to chain, and from you I ran and hid
 You know I wanna finish strong, but I'm having trouble at the start
 And I've forgotten where to dig to unearth my beating heart
 But love is patient, love is kind
 Love revives the heart and transforms the mind
 And you say, "Son, throw your delight on me
 And you'll become the man you want to be
 And my love will never fail you
 My love will never fail you
 And always remember
 That love is kind"
 (But love is patient, love is kind) love is kind
 (Love delights in the truth and is all you need to find) love is kind
 (But love is patient, love is kind) love is kind
 (Love revives the heart and transforms the mind)
