How hard it is
To say no and mean it
How hard to say
It cannot be done
And yet we say
And mean those words
You cannot have it
It cannot be.
Tough love
Is what we call it
Tough love
It is hard to do
And yet we know
If a child will grow
That this tough love
Is what we must do.
Tough love
Don't be afraid
For tough love
Will make tomorrows better
A better place
Where people have grace
And so it shall be
Where tough love had won.
