They never said it'd be easy,
but I never knew it'd be this hard
Two hearts trying to pull together
But so many times we're
pulling apart
We try in your way, we try in mine
But thank God we find the
faith to keep on trying
And I don't care what the cynics say
How many lose their
love along the way
I'm holding on till the race is won
Cause I admit there's love for the long run,
yeah
In the heat of the moment
We say things we're gonna regret
Words can leave a bitter memory
Or help us to forgive and forget
Communication, it's a lie of life
Honey, things are getting
tougher all the time
But I don't care what the cynics say
How many lose their
love along the way
I'm holdin' on to the racist world
Cause I am in this love
for the long run
Remember when our love began
Oh baby, I still feel the very same way
And I believe God has pulled us together
Forever
And I don't, no, I don't listen
I don't care what the cynics say
How many just give up along the way
I'm holding on till the race is won
Cause baby,
I am in this love for the long run
No, I don't care what the cynics say
How many lose their
love along the way
Why hold it on to the racist one?
Cause I am in this love for the long run
I am in this love for the long run
You
