It's Gonna Take a Lotta Love

Serving maid or beggar man, their state is just the same
No one takes the time to get to know them by their names
Could it be that you and I might be the ones to blame?
It's gonna take a lotta love
To turn this world around

Western nations keep on taking 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 lotta love
To turn this world around

The rich keep getting richer, keep on taking from the poor
They'll loan you fifty dollars and take back a hundred more
Well, it's bound to make you feel depressed, it's bound to make you sore
It's gonna take a lotta love
To turn this world around

They spend millions on new weapons in this modern age of man
Who 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 lotta 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 war 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 lotta love
To turn this world around
It's gonna take a lotta love
To turn this world around
It's gonna take a lotta love
To turn
This world around
