I saw a young white boy open up the door
For an old black lady who was walkin' in the store
and it hit me, yeah, it me, things ain't all that bad

I saw a homeless man pull a dollar form his shoe 
Slip it in the plate as it was passin' down the pew 
And i wondered, i couldn't help ut wonder, was it the last he had

Oh, i believe that love's alive and well
Though the way things are these days 
Some say it's hard to tell

And i've seen one little candle 
Keep away the darkness all by itself
And that's the reason why 
I know love's alive and well

They'd been together sixty-three years 
Still they smile at each other and their eyes fill up with tears
Ain's that something, but ain't that how it's supposed to be

Oh, i believe that love's alive and well
Though the way things are these days 
Some say it's hard to tell

And i've seen one little candle 
Keep away the darkness all by itself
And that's the reason why 
I know love's alive and well

Yeah, that's the reason why
I know love's alive and well.
