help us to love

mmm

no

mmm

yeah

there's a love so high

that same love's so wide

but love died somewhere

behind that cross you wear

you're afraid when you look at me

that ain't real love

not the kind from above

hmm

but there's a friend of mine

oooh

love laid down his life

all this hate i see on the tv screen

in my country 'tis of thee

god help us to love

to love the way that you love me

hmmm

god help us to love the way that you love me

oh oh

this world is weeping

hurting

broken and begging for change

oh yeah

but still we marching

praying

dying

and things stay the same

when will we see?

till everyone's free

there'll never be peace between you and me

god

your love is the cure

for the rich and the poor

god

please will you open our eyes?

'cause i want a love so high

oooh

i want a love so wide

no

no

no

no

no

but it don't come cheap

it takes everything to make love more than a dream

god help us to love

god help us to love

we need your love

fill us with your love

lord

we need your love

oh

we need your love

god help me to love the way that you love me
