Six foot six, he stood on the ground
Weighed two hundred and thirty-five pounds
But I saw this giant of a man
Brought down to his knees by love
He was the kind of man who would gamble on luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him cry like a little whippoorwill
For a thing called love
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
But like the wind that covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man
This thing called love
It can lift you up, it can tear you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found
Stronger than love
Most men are like me, they struggle and doubt
Worry their minds day in and day out
Too busy with living to worry about
A thing called love
But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young to her breast
Then I thank God this world's been blessed
By the word of love
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
But like the wind that covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man
This thing called love
It can lift you up, it can tear you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found
Stronger than love
