about

This was sitting on the shelf for sometime and recently decided to record it given the current world conditions;: police shootings; insurrection attempt; wars; crimes against humanity; world poverty and climate change.

lyrics

As I rise up each and every morning
Oh Lord
Ah look around and see such misery
And oh, oh
I wonder what's the reason
To me it's one big mystery

I can't bear it another day
So I ask the angels all to pray
Oh, oh, woah
For faith hope and charity
Need some peace some harmony
We can't carry on this way
Gotta find a better way

'Cause what we need
What we need is love
Love is what we need
Oh, woah, no. no. no. no. no, oh
'Cause what we need right now
What we need Lord, is love

Now I know my words are so familiar
So many poets have put them into rhyme
But I know if we don't take a stand
And learn to love our fellowman
We won't survive ​
No, no, no, no, no, no
'Cause what we need right now Lord, love
Lord I'm begging you please
Oh, oh, woah
Send down your love love oh Lord
We need more love right now, right here
Can't wait another day oh Lord
We gotta take a stand
Gotta love our fellow man
No time to waste
