Mary's been takin care of Larry for goin on 7 years now
Keepin a promise she made so long ago
To him and their wedding vows
She feeds him supper, buttons up his shirt
Though he doesn't know her name no more
Ask her where she gets her strength
She'll tell you from kneeling on the bedroom floor
She says love is a higher power
That gets you through the storm
Brings light into the darkness
And turns the cold to warm
Love is constant as the waves that
Roll in from the sea
Yea, love is a higher power
Higher than you and me
Yea, love is a higher power
Higher than you and me
Tommy had a stubborn reckless wild streak
At 17 he stole a car
Then got busted breakin in to a liquor store
Spent a couple a years behind bars
Thought his daddy would never want to see him again
When he knocked on the back screen door
His daddy never said a word never wiped his tears
Just hugged him like never before
See love is a higher power
That gets you through the storm
Brings light into the darkness
And turns the cold to warm
Love is constant as the waves that
Roll in from the sea
Yea, love is a higher power
Higher than you and me
It calls a soldier to the battle field
Put his life in the line of fire
It can change a heart that's locked behind grey walls and razor wire
It drives a wife to sacrifice no matter what the cost
It even caused a man to allow himself to be nailed to the cross
Yea, love is a higher power
It gets you through a storm
Brings light into the darkness
Turns the cold to warm
Love will catch you when your fallin
Lift you up on Angel wings
Yea, love is a higher power
Higher than anything
Yea, love is a higher power
Higher than anything
