Carrie Underwood - Love Wins Lyrics
Lyrics
A stray bullet and a momma cries
Her baby won't be coming home tonight
Sirens screaming down the avenue
Just another story on the evening news, oh woah
Politics and prejudice
How the hell it'd ever come to this
When everybody's gotta pick a side
It don't matter if you're wrong or right
No, and so it goes
But I hold onto hope and I won't let go cause
I, I believe you and me are sisters and brothers
And I, I believe we're made to be here for each other
And we'll never fall if we walk hand in hand
Put a world that seems broken together again
Yeah I, I believe in the end love wins
Sometimes it takes a lot of faith
To keep believing there will come a day
When the tears and the sadness, the pain and the hate
The struggle, this madness, will all fade away, yeah
I, I believe you and me are sisters and brothers
And I, I believe we're made to be here for each other
And we'll never fall if we walk hand in hand
Put a world that seems broken together again
Yeah I, I believe in the end love wins
Love is power, love is a smile
Love reaches out, love is the remedy
Love is the answer, love's an open door
Love is the only thing worth fighting for, yeah
I, I believe you and me are sisters and brothers
And I, I believe we're made to be here for each other
And we'll never fall if we walk hand in hand
Put a world that seems broken together again
Yeah I, I believe in the end love wins
Oh yeah, love wins
Love will, love can, love still, love wins
Love will, love can, love still, love wins

Meaning & Inspiration
Carrie Underwood’s “Love Wins,” released in the fall of 2018, arrives as a potent declaration of hope and resilience in a world often fractured by division and pain. The song’s central thesis, as its title suggests, is the unwavering power of love to overcome darkness, a message that resonates deeply with a spiritual core, drawing clear parallels to foundational Christian teachings. At its heart, “Love Wins” is an anthem for unity and compassion, a refusal to succumb to cynicism or despair when faced with societal discord. It speaks to the enduring strength found in believing in something greater than ourselves, a force that binds us together and inspires us to act with kindness even when met with opposition. This perspective aligns beautifully with the biblical narrative, particularly the teachings of Jesus Christ, who consistently emphasized love as the greatest commandment and the ultimate antidote to hatred and injustice. Scripture repeatedly highlights love’s transformative nature; 1 Corinthians 13, often referred to as the “love chapter,” describes love as patient, kind, and not easily angered, qualities that Underwood invokes implicitly through the song’s unwavering optimism. Furthermore, the idea that love conquers all echoes the ultimate victory of Christ’s sacrifice, a testament to divine love’s power to redeem and reconcile. The song’s spirit of perseverance in the face of adversity also mirrors the biblical call to endure trials with faith, as James 1:12 promises a crown of life to those who persevere under testing. “Love Wins” serves as a modern-day psalm, encouraging listeners to hold onto faith and to actively demonstrate love, recognizing its divine origin and its capacity to heal wounds, mend brokenness, and ultimately, to prevail. It’s a timely reminder that even in the most challenging times, the foundational principles of love, forgiveness, and understanding, deeply rooted in spiritual truth, offer a path forward towards a brighter future.
