All We Need is Love

People everywhere

need someone to care.
In a world without love
No one survives
We need love to stay alive.
Until we function as one,
Peace will never come
Why is it so hard for us to see?
We are talking basic humanity.
No matter where we live,
No matter our circumstance,
We all deserve a chance.
You may think you have the homeless man beat
But anyone can end up on the streets.
The face of the homeless changes all the time
It could be yours or mine.
When we find common ground,
We will find a sacred place where we all can abound.
If we think we can do it alone,
We may as well pack up and go home.
We don’t need a New Year’s resolution.
We need a solution.
The answer lies in the heavens above.
All we need is love.
We don’t have to search our minds,
The answers ours to find.
We don’t need a fortune-teller
Or an astrologist.
We don’t need a sociologist or psychologist.
There is no mystery,
No special key
or secret passageway
We can end our problems today.
We don’t have to solve the case.
It is as clear as the nose on our face.
There is no special fix,
No chemicals to mix
There is an answer.
There is a way.
Only those who hear the call
Will see the light
In the darkest of nights
Others will spend a lifetime
Hopelessly searching
for answers that they will never find.
The answers have been there all the time
written in verse and line.

For the Bible tells us so

All we need is one seed to make it grow

The answer lies in the heavens above
All we need is love.
