Lyrics

GOOD STRONG LOVE
(Music and Lyrics by John Tracy Wilson)

Seems I?ve grown tired of all the rush
I need to tell my racing heart to hush
Getting all worked up over the small things
And God knows I worry way too much

This voice keeps saying slow it down
Cause one day you?ll stop and turn around
You?ll find you?ve labored for all the wrong things
Now the real treasures can?t be found

Like good strong love
The kind that lifts you up
And says no matter what comes we won?t stay down
Good strong love
The kind that helps you rise above
And keeps your feet firm on the ground
Good strong love

Racing to the mark with my clenched fist
But the target should be my love?s warm kiss
Our children are still young, but not for long
I don?t want their memories to be the ones I miss

Cause they need good strong love
The kind that lifts them up
And says no matter what comes we won?t stay down
Good strong love
The kind that helps them rise above
And keeps their feet firm on the ground
Good strong love

Good strong love
The kind that lifts you up
And says no matter what comes we won?t stay down
Good strong love
The kind that helps you rise above
And keeps your feet firm on the ground
Good strong love
Good strong love
It?s a good strong love
