Only Love (Can Bring Us Home)

(album: Growing Up In Public - 1992)

There's a feeling coming over getting bigger
Growing stronger every day
You can't turn your face or hide your head
But it's not gonna go away
With a little bit of caring
We can get it back to where it used to be
But if we take and if we take then take some
More we'll shake the nature from the tree

As we walk this world alone
Only love can bring us home
Millions of children are born into hunger
Only love can bring us home

I can see it ever clearer now
In letters written big up on the wall
That of we don't ease up a little on the earth
We're gonna take a major fall
So if you're looking down and listening
We could use a heaping helping from above
Because a hundred tons of hate can be negated
With a little bit of love

As we walk this world alone
Only love can bring us home
Millions of children are born into hunger
Only love can bring us home
Poor is the man who walks on is own
Some day we'll learn that our wells can be
Emptied and only love can bring us home
