Love is not always easy
But it’s what heals in the end
No matter the pain or difficulty
It’s Love that heals in the end<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Close your eyes and breathe deeply
Pause for a moment and sigh
Pause for a moment and fly
When you want to, if you want to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hate is always too easy
It’s what destroys in the end
Too much pain, hardship and difficulty
Hate is what destroys in the end<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So Open your eyes and breathe slowly
Pause for a moment and cry
Pause for a moment and try
When you need to, if you want to
Ease your pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe in a love that touches
Your heart, my heart, our hearts
Two hearts In harmony is my dream<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t believe in a hate that crushes
Your heart, my heart, our hearts
Too much hate is a nightmare<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So when you’re down and
All seems lost and crazy
Sometimes love comes in the morning light
And Sometimes love appears in the dark of night<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Close your eyes and breathe deeply
Pause for a moment and sigh
Pause for a moment and fly
When you want to, if you want to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love ya know is not always easy
But it always heals in the end
No matter the pain \u2026no matter the difficulty
Love is what heals in the end<\/p>\n\n\n\n
