As I rise up each and every morning
Oh Lord
Ah look around and see such misery
And oh, oh
I wonder what's the reason
To me it's one big mystery
I can't bear it another day
So I ask the angels all to pray
Oh, oh, woah
For faith hope and charity
Need some peace some harmony
We can't carry on this way
Got to find a better way
Cause what we need
What we need is love
Love is what we need
Oh, woah, no. no. no. no. no, oh
Cause what we need right now
What we need Lord, is love
Now I know my words are so familiar
So many poets have put them into rhyme
But I know if we don't take a stand
And learn to love our fellowman
We won't survive
No, no, no, no, no, no
Cause what we need right now Lord, love
Lord I'm begging you please
Oh, oh, woah
Send down your love love oh Lord
We need more love right now, right here
Can't wait another day oh Lord
We got to take a stand
Got to love our fellowman
No time to waste
