Love Is All

Beating drums through the night

Flaming lights in the sky

Marching feet, fisted hands

For a cause I don’t understand

Hiding low and pray it will pass

Maybe there’ll be day at last

Where the children used to play

Lies broken glass and fields of clay

All the good that is gone

In this life that we’re given

My absolution seems not enough

‘cause still the tender turns to tough

In desperation we try

To understand why

And the destruction that you bring

Don’t you know…? Will never solve a thing

No truth, no religion

No oath you are given

No knowledge of history

Can seem to reveal our mystery

No faith and no writing

No law and no fighting

No decree and no hidden sign

Can make us deny

We are one and love is all

Tell me when your task is done

Show me now the victory won

Will rock and stone start to sing?

Bleeding wounds heal again?

Oh… In desperation we try

To understand why

And the destruction that you bring

Don’t you know…? Will never solve a thing
