With all the unrest in the world today, we wanted to write a song about a hope that peace will come when we all learn to love one another. It's a prospect that may seem idealistic, but it's all we have, we have to keep trying.

Lyrics
When Love Prevails
© 2014 Greg Lambert / Donovan Tucker
Finding shelter from the storm
And the water, the rising water
In a fight that must be won
For survival we move on
Clouds roll in and darkness looms
Somewhere a flower comes to bloom
The fragile veil of life is torn
In the struggle love is borne
Chorus
When the broken hearted reconcile
When a mother calms her angry child
When every dreamer finds the sun
When love prevails, peace will come
Bridge
There's a battle raging somewhere
If only it could end tonight
A little girl prays for a father
Please come home....
In a quiet voice she whispers
Speaking to the ties that bind
Standing strong in her belief
That peace will come...
And He will come...
Chorus
Finding shelter from the storm
Somewhere beyond the fog of war
May God's embrace keep us from harm
When love prevails, peace will come
When love prevails, peace will come
