Without Love
When will we realise?
When will we open our eyes?
Life is a precious thing
Too short to be arguing
This world is all we know
So open your hearts and let love grow
Let’s keep this planet alive
So man and all creatures can survive
Without love
Where would this world be?
What could we ever achieve?
So please let our children be free
Of wars atrocities
Whatever the colour a man might be
Whatever religion he may believe
Whether he’s young or whether he’s old
Whatever ideals or values he holds
And though we can’t live forever
We could try to live together
Listen to what others say
Think of the future make changes today
Without love
Where would this world be?
What could we ever achieve?
So please let our children be free
Of wars atrocities
Through time man has chosen to fight
Believing his reasons were right
But what has he really achieved
When we look back through our history
When will we really learn?
When will we show some concern?
For all of the human race
Life is too important to waste
Every man is flesh and blood
That common fact is understood
It’s time to be civilised
If mankind is to survive
Without love
Where would this world be?
What could we ever achieve?
So please let our children be free
Of wars atrocities
