MY BET

I’m afraid to look Into your eyes Afraid to see disappointment Or the sorrow you hide I’m afraid I haven’t lived up To what you expect That one day you’ll leave Without a word, without regret I’m afraid You’ll let go of my hand And I’ll lose the one Who helps me understand I’m afraid I’ll wake one day And you won’t be there That time ran out And I was unaware But I’m no longer afraid I put my faith in God’s hands He taught me love, How to be the bigger man He taught me honour, trust, respect To never doubt ’Cause practice makes perfect That’s how I waged my bet I waged my bet I waged, my bet This is my bet Love is love Sent from above To help us see To help us set Ourselves free This is my bet I’m afraid You’ll have to keep teaching me The lessons I resist Even when they sting Even if I raise my fist I’m afraid I’ll fall to my knees So you’ll know what you mean to me You have my heart You hold the key But I’m no longer afraid I put my faith in God’s hands He taught me love, How to be the bigger man He taught me honour, trust, respect To never doubt ’Cause practice makes perfect That’s how I waged my bet I waged my bet I waged, my bet This is my bet Love is love Sent from above To help us see To help us set Ourselves free This is my bet This weight I carry A price I’ll never regret For love A pact I made when we first met Love is love, God, And that’s how I waged my bet That’s how I waged my bet I waged my bet I waged, my bet This is my bet Love is love Sent from above To help us see To help us set Ourselves free This is my bet
