Where There Is Love, That's Where I'Ll Be

Where there is love, that's where I"ll be I look around me and all I see cruel destruction and poverty Why can't all living just be free? Living in peace and harmony Love is the cure for all maladies Where there is love, that's where I'll be Chorus Love is the cure for all maladies Where there is love, that's where I'll be Isn't the truth what sets us free Where there is truth, that's where I'll be Love is the cure for all maladies Where there is love, that's where I'll be La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la I look around me and all I see hatred and lies and hypocrisy Pride and greed lead to misery lust for fame leads to vanity What about love and humility? Where there is love, that's where I'll be Chorus I look around me and all I see lust for money playing the lottery Casinos are full, churches sit empty They say that money is all we need But isn't it truth that sets us free Where there is truth, that's where I'll be Chorus repeat To be sung to a reggae beat can you feel it? La la la la la la la la etc John Derek Hamilton May 14,2016
