[Intro] (Mmm) (Lord, have mercy) (Verse1) I’ve seen too many mothers cryin’ in the night Too many brothers fallin’ in a senseless fight We keep on buildin’ walls, callin’ it pride But all I see is hearts breakin’ deep inside (pre-chorus1) No more hate, no more pain We don’t need another chain I’ve seen the heavy rain wash nothing away Just moving the dirt from one door to the next The ledger is full of debts we can’t pay Old grudges sitting like stones in a vest (Chorus1) No more killin’, I’ve had enough No more war, no more revenge and stuff We don’t need that kind of world today All we need is love to lead the way Say it loud — peace and equality Stand together in humanity Hold my hand, feel that unity Love is the only remedy (Verse2) Poverty knockin’ on every door While the rich keep askin’ for more and more But a hungry child don’t understand your game All they need is kindness, not your blame (Pre-Chorus2) Break these chains, let ‘em fall We rise together or we fall My sister walks a mile for a single dime While the table across town is heavy with bread The clock ticks a different beat for her time Mapping out the lines where the water runs red (Chorus2) No more killin’, I’ve had enough No more war, no more revenge and stuff We don’t need that kind of world today All we need is love to lead the way Say it loud — peace and equality Stand together in humanity Feel the power of unity Love is the only remedy [Bridge] Break the locks (Break 'em down) Open up the windows for a little air We don’t need another name on a stone Just a hand to hold when the night is bare (pre-chorus3) Oh, let it shine, let it shine so bright Like a gospel fire in the darkest night From every street to every land We can heal it if we stand hand in hand (Verse3) Let the guns catch a layer of thick dust Turn the hate into something we can lose Trade the pride for a bit of common trust I’m tired of singing these same old blues (chorus3) No more fightin’, hear me say Love’s the truth, the only way Peace, equality, let it be That’s the world we’re meant to see [Outro] (Give us peace) Just a little room to grow (A little room) (Mmm) Just a little room
