Jerry Jeff Walker A love for others shouldn't lack in courage Or shadows thicked in anger hold you down Your love is always traveling there beside you With the strength to turn this world around In your mind you're free and love can blossom In solitude you cultivate its range You have in sight a life all men have dreamed of You seek to make it happen in your days On the street you meet with strung emotions You've more respect for him than he himself Your open gift of love for him's confusing But love transcends while hatred fools itself The way you live each thought is how you're moving The direction of your dreams is where you go The courage of your love to have importance Is all you really need or have to show A love for others shouldn't lack in courage Or shadows thicked in anger hold you down Your love is always traveling there beside you With the strength to turn this world around
