Learning Is a Kind of Love

“Learning Is a Kind of Love”

Verse 1

I spent years tryin’ to figure life out,

Chasin’ answers I could hold in my hands.

Thought wisdom lived in the rules I followed,

In the things I could measure and understand.

But the heart has a way of whisperin’ truths

That don’t fit in the lines we draw.

And every time I softened my grip,

I found grace in what I thought was a flaw.

Chorus

Learning is a form of love,

A slow surrender from below to above.

We unlearn the noise, the pride, the fear,

So the quiet voice of God grows clear.

It ain’t about bein’ perfect enough—

It’s the opening of the soul we’re made of.

Learning is a form of love.

Verse 2

I was taught to stand strong, never waver,

To hide the cracks in my trembling heart.

But divinity don’t live in the armor—

It lives in the places we fall apart.

So I’m layin’ down all the human ways

That kept me small and kept me blind.

There’s a holiness in the letting go,

A freedom in changin’ my mind.

Chorus

Learning is a form of love,

A slow surrender from below to above.

We unlearn the noise, the pride, the fear,

So the quiet voice of God grows clear.

It ain’t about bein’ perfect enough—

It’s the opening of the soul we’re made of.

Learning is a form of love.

Bridge

Maybe heaven’s not a place we reach,

But a truth we remember inside.

Maybe God’s been here all along,

Just waitin’ for us to step aside.

Final Chorus

Learning is a form of love,

A gentle rising from below to above.

We unlearn the noise, the pride, the fear,

Till the sacred in everything appears.

It ain’t about bein’ perfect enough—

It’s the opening of the soul we’re made of.

Learning is a form of love.
