Speak Up For Love

If there's anything worth saving
Or could be better done
Needed now more than ever
~Speak up for Love~

Although it stands up under pressure
And shines all by itself
In a world filled with hatred
We could all use a little help

There's too often a deafening silence 
In the parts that matter much
No reason we should hide it
~Speak up for Love~

The power is within you
Though courage lags at times
To bring about a needed change
To all the hearts and minds

Over years has lost some meaning
But still pulls through in a crunch
Say it now before it's not allowed
~Speak up for Love~
