John Schlitt - Where I Wanna Be lyrics

Behind this old white picket fence Are some things we need to mend With something more than clever words and alibis While some have tried with all their might To take the wrongs and make them right Without Love it can never change And every time we try will only be in vain (chorus) If love could set the world on fire What would it burn away What would remain Would it build a bridge between us? If love would rain for 40 days Would it wash away the pain Of bitter days and all the lies that came between us? And conquer all the fears in me That's where I wanna be And now we're here at river's edge We knew we'd be back here again Face to face with all the demons in our past And if we lay down all our pride We can reach the other side And watch the future come alive And light a flame to all our hopes and dreams inside (repeat chorus) (bridge) 'Cause Love can do no wrong And Love will find a way Just when you think your world is falling down Love is the one thing that remains (repeat chorus)
