about

Love exists. The biggest question of life is why? Each verse speaks of a different experience of love.

lyrics

LOVE IS

Love is a young girl on the threshold of life
Giving up her future when it hurts like a knife
Turning from the prizes, the promises and the race
Losing her mother and trying to take her place

Love is

Love is a father who will not give up hope
When his daughter disappears and his world goes up in smoke
He climbs every mountain and crosses every river
Halfway across the world 'cause he knows she'll be delivered

Love is

Love is a mother when her car's engulfed in fire
Her children in the back seat as the flames rise higher
To pull them from that furnace her life is dearly sold
And those hands that saved her babies now lie stiff and cold

Love is

Love is the God who stands in our shoes
Glory, peace and heaven he stands to lose
Shame, wrath and hell is the price we should pay
But he takes it all and he opens up the way

Love is

Started playing guitar and writing songs in my teens, but only started recording this century with my rock band sons! Either solo or with my band, I've played all over Scotland. ... more
