Not Enough Love In the World

Not enough love in the world I hear the silence in the night, fruitless searches for a mother not there... Blurring the lines 'tween wrong and right, wishing and hoping someone out there still cares... Bridge 1 The craving for love never ends, without it nothing else makes sense, Oh love!! Chorus Where is the love? tell me, why has it grown cold? Where is the love? Tell me now, 'cause I'm getting old There's not enough love in the world (No) there's not enough love in the world The silence screams out in the night, no one out there, to help her still her fears... Life's lessons learned 'fore morning light, hardened hearts no longer shed any tears Bridge The craving for love never ends, without it nothing else makes sense, Oh love!! Chorus Where is the love? tell me, why has it grown cold? Where is the love? Tell me now, 'cause I'm getting old There's not enough love in the world (No) there's not enough love in the world The curtain comes down on her life, as she stares out at all the empty chairs... Seems to come as a surprise, her passing goes unnoticed by a daughter not there... Bridge 2 The quest for love- still goes on... Just keep hoping till all hope is gone Oh love! Chorus Where is the love? tell me, why has it grown cold? Where is the love? Tell me now, 'cause I'm getting old There's not enough love in the world (No) there's not enough love in the world There's not enough love in the world (No) there's not enough love in the world repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton March 18,2018

This is truth set to music. We never stop searching for our mother’s love. We never stop needing our daughter’s love and approval. Your line “Tell me now, ‘cause I’m getting old” is so moving, poignant, soulful. Well done here. Deb

Amen - what an awesome message - one that will ALWAYS be pertinent - and in Lyric form ... I love this one, John, and I can hear a Rock Ballad or Singer/Songwriter vibe happening. Nice! :-)

Hey Greg, thanks for the nice comment, it's a subject that shouldn't have to be talked about but family life today is sometimes a mess, we reap what we sow, so sad when that happens, glad you enjoyed.
