IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT OF LOVE

KeyWords: Action (Kids),

Servant, maid or beggarman,
Their state is just the same,
No one takes the time
To get to know them by his name,
Could it be that you and I
Might be the ones to blame?
It's gonna take a lot of Love
To turn this World around.

Western nations keep on takin'
Much more than their share,
They justify their selfish lives
By pretending that they care.
How can they claim
To remove the chains
When they have put them there?
It's gonna take a lot of Love
To turn this World around.

The rich keep getting richer,
Keep on taking from the poor,
They'll loan you 50 dollars
And take back 100 more.
Well, it's bound to make you feel de-pressed,
It's bound to make you sore.
It's gonna take a lot of Love
To turn this World around.

They spend millions on new weapons
In this modern age of man,
And can land a man upon the moon
But still not give a damn,
About the starving children
Dying in a foreign land!
It's gonna take a lot of Love
To turn this World around.

In the pages of the sages
I've seen something great,
It won't be long till Love will come
And wipe away all hate.
Then perfect peace
Will make wars cease,
Evil men will meet their fate,
And real Love at last
Will turn this World around.

Well, you say, until that day,
Is there something we can do?
Yes, you can receive the Man
Who lived the golden rule,
Then do unto your neighbor
Like you'd wish he'd do to you.

It's gonna take a lot of Love
To turn this World around.
