They didn't ask for judgment when they chose to have five,
They just had so much love in them they wanted it to thrive,
A house full of laughter and a table full of plates,
And nobody has the right to stand outside their gates.
The grocery bill is heavy and the shoes wear out so fast,
And every dollar has to stretch a little further than the last,
But nobody in that household ever questions why they stayed,
Because love is the foundation every single day was made.
(Chorus)
More love to give, more love to share,
More little hands and more answered prayers,
Don't count their kids and don't count their cost,
A family built on love is never lost.
Don't you look at them and whisper that they brought this on themselves,
They're not a statistic and they're not just someone else,
They made a choice to fill their home with voices, noise and life,
A father doing all he can, a hardworking loving wife.
The bigger the family, the bigger the heart,
More hands to hold together right from the very start,
More shoulders when you're crying and more arms when you fall,
When love is in abundance there is plenty for us all.
(Chorus)
More love to give, more love to share,
More little hands and more answered prayers,
Don't count their kids and don't count their cost,
A family built on love is never lost.
We are all free agents walking our own chosen road,
Nobody gets to tell you how to carry your own load,
So raise your kids with everything you have inside to give,
Because a life filled up with love is the greatest way to live.
(Bridge)
Love doesn't count the heads around the table at night,
Love doesn't check the bank account to see if the math is right,
Love just keeps on growing every time a new one comes,
And a house full of children is a house full of the sun.
(Chorus)
More love to give, more love to share,
More little hands and more answered prayers,
Don't count their kids and don't count their cost,
A family built on love is never lost.
More love to give, more love to share,
More little hands and more answered prayers,
Don't count their kids and don't count their cost,
A family built on love is never lost.
