All you need is love


What is love when life is a struggle
Hundreds of people in all sorts of trouble
Animals left alone, no-one to care
They give lots of love, but no-one to share.

Old people trying to cope alone
Forgotten or left in homes
No wonder the world is in a mess
When nobody cares for other stress.

People fighting in the streets
When you go out your heart beats
We live in fear, and terrible dread
Thousands dying, not being fed.

What has happened to our beautiful world
Death and destruction, I have no words
We need love to restore our futures
Good things like art and culture.

Be kind, not bad, make people happy not sad
Be proud to live in a good world not bad.
Remember the Beatles song:
All you need is love.
