Love is the Answer

1. Every day I read the news
Sorrow fills my heart
Children gunned down by weapons of war
Families torn apart
I see red, I wanna lash out at
The ones that act so cruel
But hate can never drive out hate
Vengeance is the path of a fool

Love is the answer
I know it’s true
Love is the answer
Only love will pull us through

2. Friends of mine feel danger
From a surge of bigotry
How can I stay silent
And pretend that I don’t see?
I hold a picture in my mind
Of my great granddaughter’s face
And I know I need to do my part
To make this world a kinder place

Chorus

Martin Luther King showed us how
To stand strong for what is right
And he never let hatred
Cloud his loving sight

Chorus
