What The World Needs Now Is Love

Artist: Andrea Ross
Song Title: What The World Needs Now Is Love

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last till the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
Is love, sweet love
What the world needs now
What the world needs now

No matter what people say and
no matter how much they deny it,
they're all looking for love.

We all are... in some way or another. We just look for it in different ways. We find it in different things. Receive it from different people. And feel it in different situations.

But the bottom line is this:
we all want to be loved.

And anybody who claims otherwise is, in my eyes, a liar. A liar I take pity on, I must add. Simply because, well, a person who resists love is one who is essentially just too scared to go out on a limb and let anybody other than themselves in. And that's sad. Because when you're too scared to do that, it only shows that you don't love yourself enough to give yourself a chance to feel the love that the people around you are willing to give you.
