Lived-In Love

My child, I move slow, steady and true

Every line in your smile still pulls me through

We don't need to rush, we know what's real

Built on trust, on time, on the way we feel

I hear your voice in the quiet of the night

You calm my storm

She'll make the whole world right

We've got a fire that won't burn out

Soft like a prayer, but it's strong with no doubt

Baby, we got that strong, focused love

Warm like a light that leaves like a cloud

Through every sieve, we rise above

Holding each other

With grown folks love

Your hand in mine turns the hard days soft

We've learned by sawing and lifting off

No need for pretending, no need to hide

We wear our truth with the kindest pride

If time keeps moving, let it move on by

We'll keep this rhythm, you and I

But your heart's steady and sweet

That's the way forever feels to me

Baby, we got that grown folks love

Warm like a light that fits like a glove

Through every season, we ride above

Holding each other with grown folks love
