Where the Love Returns

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

Verse 1

I’ve given my time to empty hands

Built bridges that never learned to stand

But grace taught me to see the signs

Of hearts that echo back what’s mine

Verse 2

I’ve chased approval down quiet roads

Carried weight that wasn’t mine to hold

But now I plant where roots run deep

Where kindness grows and spirits keep

Chorus

Invest in people who invest in you

Where the love returns, and the light breaks through

Not just the ones who smile when you shine

But the ones who stay when you’re out of time

Give your gold to the ones who see

The worth in you when you’re not at ease

Invest in people who invest in you

That’s where the love comes true

Verse 3

I’ve learned that silence can speak loud

And not every crowd is a faithful crowd

But one true voice, one steady hand

Can lift you up where you choose to stand

Bridge

It’s not about keeping score

It’s knowing who opens the door

When you’ve got nothing left to give

And they still choose you, still let you live

Final Chorus

Invest in people who invest in you

Where the love returns, and the light breaks through

Not just the ones who cheer your climb

But the ones who walk through the quiet time

Give your gold to the ones who see

The worth in you when you’re not at ease

Invest in people who invest in you

That’s where the love comes true
