Its Not Just A Word

There is so much evil in the world yet I choose to write about love
There is so much hate in the world yet I choose to write about love
There is so much injustice in the world yet I choose to write about love
There is so much suffering in the world yet I choose to write about love

Someone has to do it why not me

I ain't no preacher
I ain't no politician
I ain't no soap box crier 
I'm just a father
I'm just a brother
I'm just a son
I'm just scared
I'm just not afraid
To tell the truth
To the world

There is so much love in the world and I choose to write about it

It is my time
These are my words
I was sitting at the table
I saw
I listened
I cried
I held you in my arms
I laid down with you
I am still here
For a reason
And I choose to write about
Love

It's not just a word
