If We Can Give Love a Chance
If we can give love a chance
O love; sweet love if we can give it a chance
As our God-given blessed children
Black, yellow, white, green, innocent of our wars
Live doing when in rain bow multi-colour
They go playing without hatred and fear
O love; sweet love if we can give it a chance
By allowing truth to live in everybody’s tongue
We men will be very strong
And hatred that reigns to the bay will shyly move
Leaving us in peace unending, for we will be sinking in the sea of love
If we can give love a chance
Then at day dawn, we men black, yellow, white green
Without fear will drive our flocks from field to fold
Free as the air to watch rivers that rage
And the rocks that grow old
Free to listen to the birds that sing
Free without fear to scent the flowers and walk the wanton fields
Free to enjoy what pleasures nature can bring
If we can give love a chance
Then there will be peace everlasting
Peace and joy that must be in any day that breaks
And soon withers them forgotten
As eggs that go rotten
Peace that brings joy, joy that happiness
That gives a honey tongue, a heart of gall
Joy that brings sorrow to fall
