Only Love
I feel the deepest sorrow within the heart of humanity
In the wake of yet another horrible tragedy
Why are so many to suffer and the innocent have to die
While those of us who're left behind deal with the loss throughout our lives
In these troubles times it seems the scales have been tipped the other way
We all know there’s been too much hardship, misery, and pain
How can we begin to heal these wounds and dry the stream of tears
When will we see that love is the only way to end this reign of fear
If we first start with ourselves
Then reach out to someone else
Then we all move one step further on our journey home
Only love can heal this world
Only love can heal these lives so torn and shattered
Only love can heal this world
Only love is all that really matters
We all have so much to offer that we somehow learn to hide
But by holding back we’ll never even begin to turn the tide
Men will battle one another in the name of country, creed, or faith
It’s been the ongoing story being played out through every age
Through ignorance and false belief minds are all too easily swayed
Against those they know so little about yet are more than willing to hate
It’s plain to see we’re being used as pawns in the balance of power game
And that beyond race and culture we’re basically the same
Together we all share in the same joys, hopes, woes and trials
We speak in the same language with our gloom and our smiles
So let’s plant the seeds
And approach things differently
One by one we’ll build the bridge towards unity
‘Cause only love can heal this world
Only love can heal these hearts wounded and battered
Only love can heal this world
Only love is all that ever matters
Love is the great power on the earth to beyond the stars
Born in each and everyone to clearly show the way
Love is the essence of the soul and who we truly are
Together we can bring it home into our world today
It’s hard to maintain hope after all the damage that’s been done
But there’s no better time than now to let your light shine like the sun
How many crises must there be for the message to come clear
We can’t blindly continue down the same old road giving fools the wheel to steer
How much more loss of precious life must it take for us to see
The problems of this world will never be solved by war and hostility
Let’s shift our priorities to service and helping those in need
And let go of those proven not to work like power, control, and greed
Often life’s a mirror reflection of what we focus our attention on
So let’s turn our thoughts and intentions over to more positive ones
So give of yourself some more
And find what life’s worth living for
‘Cause love will always lead us back to shore
Only love can heal this world
Only love can restore these minds weary and scattered
Only love can heal this world
Only love is all that truly matters
Love is the highest gift a blessing from above
Our guiding inspiration on each journey round the sun
Love is the divine spark its what we are made of
It always has and forever will connect us to the one
Let not your light be dimmed by the shadows of the times
We must keep the candle burning even through the darkest night
Through extending our hearts to others we’ll keep the flame of hope alive
With kindness and understanding we’ll lift our spirits high
Thus work towards being the example of all we aspire to be
And help those still in darkness to awaken from their sleep
If there’s any value to be found in all this tragedy
It’s to deepen our compassion for another’s suffering
Let’s do our part to help create a world where we can live in harmony
And if peace on earth is ever to come it starts here with you and me
So step up some more
Where you've yet to go before
‘Cause can open each and every door
Only love can heal this world
Only love can bring a miracle to disaster
Only love can heal this world
Only love in the end is all that matters
So reach down to your soul
And let it all unfold
'Cause love is meant to be our true life's goal
Only love can heal this world
Only love can lift us above the sadness
Only love can heal this world
Only love can see us through this madness
