Only One Love

Hunger in the city, people holding signs
Sayin' "I will work for food"
I tell you brother, these are troubled times
Children having babies, families in the street
But we close our eyes, so we don't see
Poverty is prison, living it, a crime
And the homeless take their battered souls
To the shelter for the night
We all need each other, don't you see
We need one trust in one another
We've got just us
(There ain't nobody else)
We're in this together
Just this one time, open your heart and your mind
If you look beyond yourself, then you'll find
One love, one understanding
For the world that lies outside of your front door
Oh, one love
And I know that it can be
Everything we dream of
Perfectly that one and only love
One and only
Raise your hands to heaven, peace is in the plan
And if anyone can make it happen baby, I believe we can
I promise you the future, but there's no guarantee
We all need each other, don't you see
We need one trust in one another
We've got just us
(There ain't nobody else)
We're in this together
Just this one time, open your heart and your mind
If you look beyond yourself, then you'll find
One love, one sole intention
And the common sense to know when it feels right
Oh, one love in one great big picture
It's everything we've wanted
Gotta be the one and only love
That's what we need just to keep from falling apart
Whatever the problems, I know we can solve 'em
And if it takes my lifetime
I'll be searching 'til I find that one
One love, one understanding
For the world that lies outside of our front door
Oh, one love
And I know that it can be
Everything we dream of
Perfectly that one and only love

Love in your heart to stop falling apart
We need one love
One love
One
Love
