You’ll be coming alive from the first day you’re born
Try to put up a fight to be something more
Than what the world expects of you
It’ll take a little while
You know the eyes open slowly
They say you have to have thick skin to make it through
To make it in this world
It’s the only way to make it through
But maybe the real fight is in getting strong
And growing tough enough to keep the thin skin
Cause that’s how we keep feeling
There’s a love that covers
Everything and everyone
There’s a love that covers
Everything and everyone
I got love in my eyes
I want you to know
I want you to believe
There’s something much greater
Than you or me
I’m pulling for you no matter where you go
If it’s far or near or fast or slow
I hope that you shine like a Texaco sign
In a west Texas town that’s never known time
When there’s ten miles to go
But only five miles of gas
And you’re someone to run to for safety at last
There’s a love that covers
Everything and everyone
There’s a love that covers
Everything and everyone
Take hold of your heart
Take hold of your heart
Cause that’s where all the good things start
Take care of your heart
Take care of that heart
Cause that’s where all the good things start, yeah
Norma Jane told me son
If you’ve got something to say
Learn to write it in a letter
And try to be brave
With what’s in your heart
Let her know how you feel
Cause let me tell you son
Nobody reads a letter just once
There’s a love that covers
Everything and everyone
May God’s love cover
Everything and everyone
The leaving out
The coming home
The ones who have
The ones who won’t
The ones who believe
The ones who don’t
The rise and the fall
It covers it all
