Love That Makes a Cup of Tea

There is love that moves a mountain
There is love that beats a drum
There is love that fights for justice
Knowing justice won’t be done

There is love that goes to prison
Love that goes to war
There is love that rows a lifeboat
Towards some shining golden shore

And there is love that makes a cup of tea
Asks you how you’re doing, and listens quietly
Slips you twenty dollars when your rent’s behind
That’s the kind of love I hope you find

There is love that shouts its name out loud
Love that builds a wall
But love that stoops to conquer
Isn’t really love at all

It’s an echo in the darkness
It’s a well that can’t be filled
It’s an endless hall of mirrors
And it only sees itself

But there is love that makes a cup of tea
Love that loves both who you are and who you want to be
Love that waits for you when you fall behind
That’s the kind of love I hope you find
