[Verse 1]
I was born inside a home
The youngest of the three
Boys who fought with daddy's stubborn heart
And Mamma cleaned stranger's floors
And God knows that he made it hard
She broke her back to keep her babies warm

[Interlude 1]
And this is the love that made me grow

[Verse 2]
I was born inside a town
That never understood me
And chased me off through no fault of its own
But fragile minds they think alike
We battened down the hatches
And faced our common enemies at night

[Interlude 2]
And this is the love that made me bold

[Verse 3]
I was lost inside myself
But one enchanted April
Leads to sixteen more enchanted Mays
I've been gone since Bay Tree Road
The confederate to Woodland
Whites Bridge back to Green
I love you so
[Interlude 3]
And this is the love that made me whole

[Verse 4]
I was found at nine years old
A cold November morning
I told you that my life was not my own
I was plunged beneath the flood
The saints were singing glory
The sins of man are washed beneath the blood

[Outro]
And this is the love that saved my soul
And this is the love that saved my soul
