Love Shall Be Thy Name Lyrics

In a calm and quiet small town

In a calm and quiet home

Sits a calm and quiet housewife

At her window all alone

With the children off to school

And your husband off to work

You've got some time to do some thinkin'

'Bout your place in the world

So you're starin' out the window

You're tryin' to recall

All those dreams you used to dream

And now it seems you have it all

You got a decent stable marriage

You got kids and a car

Still that question's coming back

Who you truly are

And now you've seen this girl

And you think of her

And there ain't nobody finer in this whole wide world

And you know you just can't let her slip away

Some people look at you

Even call you names

Intoxicated with fear and blinded by hate

They're tryin' to make you feel unworthy and ashamed

Well, they might call you what they want -

I know Love shall be thy name

Oooh-oh-oh oh oh-oh-ooh

Oooh-oh-oh oh oh-oh-ooh

What makes you feel that life might be worth living? (I don't know)

What kind of power leaves your body shivering? (Let me know)

What force can make you wait for hours in the rain? (Oooh, I really need to know)

Is there something in life that's really sacred? (You tell me)

Is there something that can't be overrated? (Make me see)

The question changes - but the answer stays the same

So now you date this girl

And you marry her

'Cause there ain't nobody better in this whole wide world

And now you know you'll never let her slip away

And if they'd come at you

If they'd call you names

You have your friends standing between you and their fear and their hate

No one's ever gonna make you feel ashamed

No, they might call you what they want -

We know Love shall be thy name

Yeah, they might call you what they want -

Love shall be thy name

Love shall be thy name

Love shall be thy name

Love shall be thy name

Love shall be thy name

Love shall be thy name
