Love by Christina

Love

There is a song that used to play
on the radio
That used to tell us what we needed
so many years ago

 

But though nigh on 40 years have passed
it hasn't changed a thing
What we needed then we still need now
more than anything!

 

We've so much violence in our world
such terror, hate and fear
The grim statistics on the news
they worsen every year

 

And though times are always changing
the echo of those words
For peace and love to bring a hope
is not so absurd.

 

What the world needed in '65
has always been the same
A promise sought for every year
I guess some things never change -

 

And here we are still living in hope
but yet we refuse to see
While what the world needs is love
that is should start with me.
