Equal Love

I stood there empty-handed
And I came from different blood
But somehow it didn't matter
You showed me equal love
You taught me with great compassion
Through humbleness and honesty
If you had lied I'd still be trapped inside
Your truth set me free

I came of age and that's all she wrote
I was gone in a cloud of smoke
I thought I knew all there was to know
Was just enough to get by
We do some things that we can't forget
Life's full of love and regret
But we won't know until the end
Who was really wrong or right

We have had some hard times
Like every father and son
But why did it seem so natural
If it looked easy, it never was
Wisdom comes from aging
But aging makes us weak
I'll try harder to listen
When you're not strong enough to speak

We come of age and that's all she wrote
We get gone in a cloud of smoke
We think we know all there is know
It's just enough to get by
We do some things that we can't forget
Life's full of love and regret
But we won't know until the end
Who was really wrong or right

We are all just children
When we hide behind our shame
But Jesus overlooks it
Yeah, He loves us just the same
So I stood there empty handed
And I came from different blood
Somehow it didn't matter
You showed me equal love
You showed me equal love
You showed me equal love
