It's greater than the world
Wider than the sky
It's strong enough to make mountains crumble
Or make a grown man cry 
It can melt the coldest heart
Put broken things together
Finds what is lost doesn't count the cost
And it goes on forever

You can try to drown it in a sea of tears
Lock it up in chains for a million years
Run from it, hide from it, one thing's clear
You can't stop love, no you can't stop love

It's freer than the wind
It shines out in the dark
It's bigger than all of heaven and earth
But small enough to fit inside your heart

You can try to down it in a sea of tears
Lock it up in chains for a million years
Run from it, hide from it, one thing's clear
You can't stop love
It's something that you can't forget
Throw it away and find regret
Go ahead, fight it, give it your best
But you can't stop love
No you can't stop love
