[Intro]
[Verse]
You re gonna get a million answers, to what s the measure of a man
From the softness of his heart, to the hardness of his hand
Itâs always been the same old question ever since this world began
But a man can t learn a lesson that he don t understand
[Verse]
Any fool can pull the trigger, anyone can start a fight
But to love is so much bigger, itâs so beyond whatâs black or white
And if we re gonna give our children a future that is bright
Then the truth must be the answer, and love must be the light
[Chorus]
The hardest thing you ll ever do is tell someone you re sorry
You ll never be the bravest man if you can t admit your scared
In what you do, in what you say
The strength it s gonna take to stay
Comes from somewhere high above
That s the courage to love
[Bridge]
If you re gonna give yourself to somebody else
Then you gotta love someone more than yourseeeelf
[Chorus]
The hardest thing you ll ever do is tell someone you re sorry
You ll never be the bravest man if you can t admit your scared
In what you do, in what you say
All the praying to walk away
Comes from somewhere high above
It s the power, it s the courage
Oh it s beautiful!
It s the courage to love
