[Intro — Hypnotic Rhodes Loop, Harp, Atmospheric Strings] [Soft Airy Harmonies] Ooh... Let it live... Let it live... [Male Lead — Soft Spoken] Everybody says We need more love in this world... But if love came looking For somewhere to stay... Would it feel welcome in me? [Verse 1 — Gentle Philly-Soul Lead, Half-Time Groove] I've seen love standing at the doorway While pride was changing every lock Seen forgiveness reaching for somebody Too afraid to let it knock We build these walls to keep from hurting Then wonder why we're all alone Maybe love ain't disappeared Maybe love just needs a home I kept asking where the good went Searching faces, trying to see Then something whispered in the silence, "Give love somewhere it can be" [Pre-Chorus — Strings Rise, Soft Harmony Layers] Open every window Move the fear out of the way Sweep yesterday from the doorway Tell my heart... Love can stay (Love can stay...) [Chorus — Sweeping Strings, Tender Lead] If love needs somewhere to live Let it make a home in me Let it breathe through every word I speak Let it become what people see If love needs somewhere to grow I'll give it everything it needs A little patience, a little kindness A little room to plant its seed I spent my life Looking for love outside of me Now I understand... If love needs somewhere to live Let it make a home in me [Soft Backing Harmonies] Make a home... Stay awhile... Live in me... [Instrumental Turnaround — Rhodes Motif, Harp, Sub-Bass] [Verse 2 — Intimate Lead, Pulsing Bass] Love ain't always roses Sometimes love is staying there to listen Sometimes love is saying, "I was wrong" Without another condition Sometimes love is giving grace When somebody's still becoming Remembering the good we shared When anger tries to tell us nothing And sometimes love Is putting down the weight Not because the hurt didn't matter But my heart deserves better than hate [Pre-Chorus — Airy Harmonies, Rising Cello] Open every window Let some light into this place Take the armor off my heart now There's enough room... Love can stay (Love can stay...) [Chorus — Lush Orchestra, Gentle R&B Harmonies] If love needs somewhere to live Let it make a home in me Let it breathe through every word I speak Let it become what people see If love needs somewhere to grow I'll give it everything it needs A little patience, a little kindness A little room to plant its seed (Let it grow...) (Let it breathe...) (Make a home in me...) [Bridge — Drums Drop Out, Harp, Cello, Floating Keys] If you come to me With a heart that's tired You don't have to pretend You're strong tonight Maybe I can't fix What brought you here Maybe that's not What you need me to do Maybe love Is simply making enough room Inside of me... For you to still be you [Soft Stacked Harmonies] There's room... There's room for you... [Breakdown — Spoken Lead, Hypnotic Bass and Rhodes] Let love live in the way I speak (Let it live...) Let love live in the way I listen (Let it live...) When we disagree (Let it live...) When forgiveness gets difficult (Let it live...) At my table Inside my home (Let it live...) Every room I enter Everywhere I go (Let it live...) Maybe one day Love won't have to search So hard for somewhere to go [Instrumental Lift — Strings Bloom, Half-Time Drums Return] [Final Chorus — Wide Orchestra, Tender Sustained Lead] If love needs somewhere to live Let it make a home in me (Make a home in me...) Let it move through these hands Through this heart Through every soul that encounters me If love needs somewhere to grow I'll protect the garden underneath With understanding, with compassion With truth that doesn't wound to speak [Lead — Intimate, Orchestra Softens] And if somebody asks me, "Where did you find All this love you give?" I'll tell 'em... I stopped waiting For love to find me And became somewhere... Love could live [Layered Soul Harmonies — Soft and Airy] Live... Live in me... Make a home... Love can stay... [Outro — Spoken, Rhodes Loop, Harp and Flugelhorn] Maybe love never left this world Maybe it was standing outside Waiting for somebody To open the door Come on in... There's room here One heart at a time [Whispered Harmonies] Becoming... Becoming... [Instrumental Outro — 24 Bars] [Hypnotic Rhodes, Sweeping Strings, Harp, Soft Bass Pulse] [Flugelhorn Answers the Vocal Melody] [Percussion Falls Away, Slow Atmospheric Fade]
