lyrics

They're fighting in the streets again
Little tiny TV screens
Blur lines between self-defense
And lowdown dirty and mean

If I see the love I lost
You know I'm gonna wish her well
She's the one that taught me the cost
Christ paid to save us from hell

You might say, "There's no road too long"
You might say, "There's no hill too steep"
But true love's the hardest promise to keep
You might say, "There's no sky too high"
You might say, "There's no sea too deep"
But true love's the hardest promise to keep

Diamonds are forever
And a dog is a man's best friend
Some bonds never sever
But most things have to come to an end

Eternity is a long time
It's a hell of a hardness test
The devil never made Him commit any crime
God's children can just do their best

You might say, "There's no road too long"
You might say, "There's no hill too steep"
But true love's the hardest promise to keep
You might say, "There's no sky too high"
You might say, "There's no sea too deep"
But true love's the hardest promise to keep

To think of what He died for
Helps me understand the weight
A force like that is rare and strong and great
To be all I long for as I ponder heaven's gate
Love is the key to His beautiful estate

Brother against brother
Oh yeah that old tale again
Say a prayer for another soul
Drowning in a quagmire of sin

A sacrifice in trade
For a freedom that we tend to refuse
The promise has been made
But we still walk around with the blues

You might say, "There's no road too long"
You might say, "There's no hill too steep"
But true love's the hardest promise to keep
You might say, "There's no sky too high"
You might say, "There's no sea too deep"
But true love's the hardest promise to keep
