One man stood before his brothers Torn inside like the colors of a coat Years behind him like a storm were raging But mercy caused that lump inside his throat When love is a hard thing to do And the shadow of the hurtin' only complicates the view Left within the balance As the heart and mind fight for what is right When love is a hard thing to do Oh, will you? One woman stood before her king To live or die, a word upon his lips She felt the ancient blood flowing warm inside her veins To her people she was all they had left When love is a hard thing to do And the shadow of the hurtin' only complicates the view Left within the balance As the heart and mind fight for what is right When love is a hard thing to do Woah, will you? Let go of the bitter Let go of the pride And find the sweet surrender In the One who lived and died for us all When love is a hard thing to do And the shadow of the hurtin' only complicates the view Left within the balance As the heart and mind fight for what is right When love is a hard thing to do When love is a hard thing to do Woah, will you? Woah, will you?
