LYRICS
How much more are we gonna take?
How many nights do we have to lie awake?
How many tears are we gonna cry?
We can wish until the well runs dry
But what happens when the sky above
Runs out of every single shooting star?
And what if every good intention's only meant
To go so far?
Only love, only love can save us now
Keep the world from burning down, down, down
To the ground, ground, ground
Only love can look inside a human heart
And see us for who we are
And who we are would be enough
If only there was only love
Only love, only love
Only love
How many lessons have we really learned?
How many bridges could we cross instead of burn?
Why do we find it hard to forgive?
We're so blinded that it's easy to forget
Only love, only love can save us now
Keep the world from burning down, down, down
To the ground, ground, ground
Only love can look inside a human heart
And see us for who we are
And who we are would be enough
If only there was only love
Only love, only love
Only love, only love
Only love, only love
So what happens when the sky above
Runs out of every single shooting star
And what if every good intention's only meant
To go so far
Only love, only love can save us now
Keep the world from burning down, down, down
To the ground, ground, ground
Only love can look inside a human heart
And see us for who we are
And who we are would be enough
If only there was only love
