Been together for a while
And theyâve shown each other love
And things could not get any better no no
Graduate and travel,
Are the plans they made for two
The things theyâd do together
But the news comes so abruptly
They are lost on what to do
So unwelcome this change
And sitting in the clinic
Would make it easier to choose
This is not what they planned
Love is not convenient sometimes
Itâs a choice and work to do, yeah
Love is not convenient sometimes
Itâs a sacrifice we choose
Climbing up the business ladder,
By moving all around
Things are falling into place oh yeah yeah
The wife and kids are happy,
Traveling with you
Toward your goal of something corporate
Her mom is fading slowly
But faster than before
Cannot live on her own
And for her to care for mama
Youâd have to settle down
And give up the dream
And we can try to look away as humanness just fades to grey
And we can try to cleverly explain away our selfish deeds
But when we ostracize and scorn and conveniently ignore
We neglect to show them grace we are spitting in the face
Of the One who came to save everyone from least to great
