Love Is Stronger Than Hate - Acoustic

Where I come from you need to learn to fight

And follow in the footsteps, what your father thought was right

Marry the girl you met in school, get two kids and pick up truck

That disappeared in the rear view mirror, the day they call you up

Write me, send me, don't forget to call

Whisper softly, you'll be there if I fall

Turn off the news, shut off the world, home is where you are safe

Reach me, teach me, love is stronger than hate

(Love is stronger than hate)

Ended up a soldier in a foreign land

Two tours of Iraq and two in Afghanistan

Didn't think I'd make it out but your photo got me through

When I got back, you could see I'd cracked and I wasn't the same to you

Hold me gently, take me in your arms

Whisper softly, they'll never do you harm

Turn off the news, shut off the world, home is where you are safe

Reach me, teach me, love is stronger than hate

(Love is stronger than hate)

Lying here alone at night, firing rockets from my bed

No one else can see them 'cause they're only in my head

Sam Cooke's singin' my favorite song, "Try A Little Tenderness"

That sweet melody drifting by as I convalesce

Is that your hand clutchin' mine?

I just want your hand clutchin' mine

Oh, hold me gently, always let me know

Whisper softly, you'll never let me go

Turn off the news, shut off the world, before it's all too late

Reach me, teach me, love is stronger than hate

(Love is stronger than hate)

Love is stronger than hate

(Love is stronger than hate)

Love is stronger than hate
