Applying this to Winans’ “It All Comes Down to Love”:

: By referencing historical icons like Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, and Desmond Tutu, Winans grounds the song in the actual cost of justice and human rights.

“You can have the faith to move a mountain / You can have the wisdom of a king / But if you don’t have love, you have nothing / It all comes down to love.”

Marcus closed his eyes. The song stripped away the complexity of the probate court, the arguments over the will, the exhaustion of the funeral. It stripped away the titles and the accolades.
