All This World Need Is Love

Where are you right now.
What have you done today
Right before our eyes 
Time is slipping away

You hear it on the radio
You see it on TV
So very little compassion
In today's society

While we keep on ignoring
The world's falling apart
We can close our eye's
But we got to open our hearts

All this world need is love
all this world need is love 
love from me and you

All this world need is love 
so come on and join me 
And let's make this fantasy come true

I'm alive and so are you
we can't sit down and keep waiting 
we will just be wasting precious time
just sitting here contemplating

Only we can bring about
The things we can to see
If we don't bring it into reality
Then the vision will remain blurry

Those with power in their hands
Their suits are to clean
While you hunger in poverty
They eat steak behind big a screen

All this world need is love
all this world need is love 
But the rivers run dry to bone

All this world need is love 
so come on and join me 
Cause I can not do this alone

They said good thing comes 
To those who wait
In Africa the children sit 
and they're waiting

In India the children sit 
And they're waiting
In the middle east the children sit
And they're waiting

In Palestine the children sits 
And they re waiting
While the united nation sits
Wasting time and debating

All this world need is love
all this world need is love 
But all I seeing is tears

All this world need is love 
so come on and join me 
lets spread love everywhere

Cause I can not do this alone
the weight is to much for me
so come on and join me 
And let's make this fantasy come true
