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
