Life is like a rose that withers way to fast Oh his colors are so beautiful but they won't seem to last Carefree memories collect dust in the attic of the past Life is like I'm on a ship that's out to sea Oh I'm close enough to see the shore but far enough to know that if I swim I'll sink Oh The shore is where I always want to be Yeah The shore is where I always want to be Ohh but I will pick my head up cause everydays a new day Worries rise but they won't have the victory Cause I know love is what matters in the end Fear wants to win me but Jesus has already won Shadows come but tremble in the light of the son I know love is what matters in the end Oh I know that love is what matters in the end Violence pains the sky we see it everyday So we shake a fist at heaven and blame the God who gives us grace and peace just like a traveler Who never stops for too long in one place Yeah he's hurried to get going on his way Ohh but I will pick my head up cause everydays a new day Worries rise but they won't have the victory Cause I know love is what matters in the end Fear wants to win me but Jesus has already won Shadows come but tremble in the light of the son I know love is what matters in the end Oh I know that love is what matters in the end Life is meaningless like chasing after the wind The moment comes to catch a breath and then it's gone again And all I know All I know Is what matters in the end Oh I know that love is what matters in the end And I know love is what matters in the end Yeah I know love is what matters in the end
