[Verse 1]
The rain came hard that spring
Bills on the table, no sleep
One kid on my hip, one by the sink
Still I kept love in reach
I learned to bend, not break
To breathe through the mess and the fear
When the house felt small and the night felt long
I held them close right here
[Pre-Chorus]
And I said, "Baby, we will make it"
One step, then another
Through the broken, through the quiet
We keep finding each other
[Chorus]
Love is how we stand
Kindness in our hands
Grace in the damage
Forgiveness when we can
Love is how we stand
Through the fire and the plans
Two little lives in my heart
And we learn to love again
[Verse 2]
Some days I lost my voice
Some days I cried in the car
But I still packed those lunches
And kissed each scar
They watched me start again
When the world tried to pull us apart
So I taught them how to try
With a soft and steady heart
[Pre-Chorus]
And I said, "Baby, we will make it"
One step, then another
Through the broken, through the quiet
We keep finding each other
[Chorus]
Love is how we stand
Kindness in our hands
Grace in the damage
Forgiveness when we can
Love is how we stand
Through the fire and the plans
Two little lives in my heart
And we learn to love again
[Bridge]
I have seen the storm roll in
I have seen it leave a scar
But mercy stayed in our doorway
Like a light in the dark
Now they laugh through the thunder
Now they know my name by prayer
And every time I almost fold
Love meets me there
[Chorus]
Love is how we stand
Kindness in our hands
Grace in the damage
Forgiveness when we can
Love is how we stand
Through the fire and the plans
Two little lives in my heart
And we learn to love again
[Outro]
Love is how we stand
Kindness in our hands
Grace and forgiveness
We learn to love again
