LOVE SHINES

"Getting to know other contents and forms of thought, that is where the story lies in a smile of the Buddha....

 

"Now everybody has a right to be living their lives

Oh, but we're a long long way, a long way from paradise

If there is freedom, tell me why everybody wants to fight?

Cause we're a long long way, a long way from paradise

You might be strong enough

You might be rich enough

You might be blind enough

To push it all aside

No matter what you do

It keeps coming back to me and you

 

Give a little bit of love and you get it back

Give a little bit of pain, you're caught in a trap

For every little thing that you say or do

Give a little bit of love and it'll come back to you

 

You got your reasons but are you sure they're reasons to be right?

Oh, cause we're a long, long way, a long way from paradise

Don't let your anger or your fear become your suicide

Oh, cause we're a long, long way, a long way from paradise

We must be strong enough

We must be great enough

We've waited long enough

Now it's time to say goodbye -

We've got some rules to burn

So many lessons to be learned

Give a little bit of love and you get it back

Give a little bit of pain, you're caught in a trap

For every little thing that you say or do

Give a little bit of love and it'll come back to you

 

Now I believe in peace and harmony

You've got to believe in love before you can be free

So take a hand, everybody make a friend

I want you to believe in love

Like I believe

 

Every little thing that you say or do

Give a little bit of love and it will come back to you..."

 

I BELIEVE - Marcella Detroit, 1994.
