Is this just another day, this God-forgotten place
First comes love and then comes pain, let the games begin
Questions rise and answers fall, insurmountable
Love boat captain, take the reigns and steer us towards the clear, here
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough
All you need is love
Is this just another phase of earthquakes making waves
Trying to shake the cancer off? Oh, stupid human beings
Once you hold the hand of love, it's all surmountable
Hold me and make it the truth
That when all is lost there'll be you
'Cause to the universe, I don't mean a thing
And there is just one word that I still believe in
It's love...
It's an art to live with pain, mix the light into grey
Lost nine friends we'll never know, two years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?
And the young they can lose hope
'Cause they can't see beyond today...
The wisdom that the old can't give away, hey
Constant recoil
Sometimes life don't leave you alone
Hold me and make it the truth
That when all is lost there will be you
'Cause to the universe, I don't mean a thing
And there is just one word and I still believe in
It's love... love, love, love, love
Love boat captain, take the reigns, steer us towards the clear
I know it's already been sung, it can't be said enough
Love is all you need... all you need is love
Love, love...
