Story Behind The Song
The news is constantly showing Mexican immigrants found dead attempting to cross our borders. A co-worker could not understand why anyone would chance death crossing through the desert for a low paying job. I asked the co-worker if he had a family and he said, "Yes". So I asked him, what chances would you take to provide for them? What would you give up For Love?

Lyrics
For Love
copyright 2005 William Scroggs
Verse:
He?s made the journey many times before
Just to feed his family of four
Try to earn a dollar just to send back home
That?s if he makes it on his own
Cause crossing over borderlines
He takes a chance every time
Chorus
For love love love
You do what?cha got to do
No matter how hard it gets
It will always pull you through
For love love love
Even at the sacrifice or loss
It?s still the only thing worth fighting for
No matter what the cost
Have you wondered what you?d give up for love
Verse:
He lost a brother two years ago
Crossing through the desert all alone
Patrol finally found him underneath a tree
Holding a picture of his family
And Crossing over borderlines
He took a chance everytime
Chorus
Bridge:
If you ever doubt the power of the heart
When push comes to shove
Just think where you might be if not for love
For love love love
You do what?cha got to do
For love love love
Will always pull you through
For love love love
