Life is Tough, but Love is Stronger

You went down one of those roads 
Nobody should have to go, 
Life sure got real, real fast. 
You couldn't see your way out 
Your world was under a cloud 
All you could feel was helpless.

You didn't think you could do it, 
Oh but you got through it.

You kept faith when you didn't have a prayer 
Found hope when it wasn't even there 
Up against the impossible you just wouldn't back down
You kept fighting. 
That heavy cross you carried 
Ain't weighin' you down any longer
Life is tough, but love is stronger. 

You're finally facing the sun, 
Your brighter days have begun 
Look at you now, just soakin' it in. 

You're smiling, you're laughing 
You're happy, you're living 
Every moment surrounded by 
All the beautiful reasons why. 

You kept faith when you didn't have a prayer 
Found hope when it wasn't even there 
Up against the impossible you just wouldn't back down
You kept fighting. 
That heavy cross you carried 
Ain't weighin' you down any longer
Life is tough, but love is stronger. 

You kept faith when you didn't have a prayer 
Found hope when it wasn't even there 
Up against the impossible you just wouldn't back down
You kept fighting. 
That heavy cross you carried 
Ain't weighin' you down any longer
Life is tough,So tough, but love is stronger. 
Oh yeah. 
Loverr is stronger. 
Oh yes it is now.

This is one of my favorite songs right now. I think it's a pretty good description of my feelings over the past several months. In this context, i'm not talking about romantic love, but self-love and respect. I respected myself too much to stay put where I was, so as hard as it was, I made the necessary changes and I'm now a lot happier. With my faith in God to work things out in my best interest, I got the necessary strength to make my move.

If you're stuck in a hopeless situation, I hope you will be encouraged. :)
