All I Need


I don't need a big mansion Nor a lot of money I don't need fancy clothes Nor a brand new car I don't need fame Nor the glory of it All I need is love Whether it's family A soulmate A friend God All I need is, is love Love is so many things It is hope It is tenderness It is compassion It is mercy It is forgiveness And understanding. I'm not talking about lust Nor twitterpation But real love The love you feel when your mother holds you close And says it'll be okay The love you see in your father Everytime he leaves to work The love you see in a person's eyes And they don't even have to say it Cause they show it And this world needs that kind of love It's so full of ate Everyone's hating everyone else Our world is a Narssisit It prays on the weak The hungry The poor the rich The innocent the tainted So it seems This world needs A little love too And I'm sure the same for me Is the same for you All you need is love But one more thing I need to say This world could be A better place And love is the only thing That the evil in this world Can never take People can take away our freedom They can take away our human dignity They can strip us of our pride But they can't change what's inside Unless we let them We need love So let us make a difference Let us make a change Let us tell the world All it needs is love Just a little bit of love
