What kind of shape are we in today, when so much has gone astray?
Wars and rumours on every side - what about the war inside?
Yeah, the times are changing, and I know it's for the worse,
We're running 'round in circles, never learning from this curse,
Indulging every pleasure, no matter what may be the cost,
While filling up your measure you intensify the pain...but all is not lost.
I've had the knife driven in my back,
Done-in by friends who led the attack, all in the name of righteousness,
I've been hurt, I've been burned, but there is something that I have learned,
There can be love when hate is returned.
I need love, you need love,
We need love, or we have nothing at all,
I need love, you need love,
We need love, but we're gonna fall.
No.
I've had the chances for cheap romances,
Can't be had by circumstances,
Won't let temptation get the best of me, no.
I need love, you need love,
We need love, or we have nothing at all,
I need love, you need love,
We need love, or we're gonna fall.
Doing right can be hard to see when doing wrong comes so easily,
But there's something deep inside from which we cannot hide,
With so much noise going on, the truth can be so hard to tell,
And the deck is so stacked by a world on its way to Hell.
I need love, you need love,
We need love, or we have nothing at all,
I need love, you need love,
We need love, but we're gonna fall,
I need love, you need love,
We need love, or we have nothing at all.
We need love, we need love.
