Let Your Love Be Strong by Switchfoot

Story behind the song:
"Let Your Love Be Strong. This one means a lot to me. "Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that truth could be fact and form, that love could be a verb, maybe I'm just a little misinformed." I wrote this one after a long walk in the early morning before the sun came up. I was sitting out by the train tracks halfway between the ocean and the freeway. When everything in your life falls apart you begin to realize what's worth holding on to and who's got a hold on you. Let the world fall apart ... all of my life rests upon the love that created every breath I have been given."


In this world of news, I've found nothing new,
I've found nothing pure,
Maybe I'm just, idealistic to assume that truth,
Could be fact and form,
That love could be a verb,
Maybe I'm just a little misinformed.

As the dead moon rises, and the freeways sigh,
Let the trains watch over the tides and the mist,
Spinning circles in our skies tonight.
Let the trucks roll in, from Los Angeles,
Maybe our stars are unanimously tired.

Let Your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down.
Let Your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud.
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes,
All of my world hanging on, Your love.

Let the wars begin, let my strength wear thin.
Let my fingers crack, let my world fall apart,
Train the monkeys on my back to fight,
Let it start tonight.
When my world explodes, when my stars touch the ground,
Falling down like broken satellites.

Let Your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down.

Let Your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud.
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes.
All of my world hanging on,
All that I am resting on, Your love.
