One Word

How many words do we need to feed the people
How many?
How many words do we need to stop the bombs
How many?
How many words do we need to heal the oceans
How many?
How many words do we need?

I say one word and it's love
You can throw the rest of them all away
I say one word and it's love
How we need that one word today

How many words do we need to stop the hunger
How many?
How many words do we need to put an end to the fear
How many?
How many words do we need to save the children
How many?
How many words do we need?

Chorus

You got to love the simple and the superstitious
Love the absent who cannot hear us
Love the soldiers and the immigrants
Even the bushes and the animals
Love the close minded love the fear mongers
Love so the children can grow up stronger

Chorus
