Let's Talk About Love

There's a little girl across the railroad tracks From the poor side of town The only clothes that she has ever known Are some worn out jeans her brother handed down But everyday on the way to school She sees a homeless in the street She takes a quarter she saved for milk And lays it on the sidewalk at her feet Talk about love, true love Talk about reaching out, when the whole world's given up We hold the power to change a life with just one touch Come on, let's talk about love There's a little boy in a private room Who's living way beyond his fears He sees the promise that each new day brings 'Cause he knows he might not be here next year He tells jokes that make the children laugh Which makes their parents cry It's just a shame it takes tragedy To make us see the beauty in this life Talk about love, true love Talk about reaching out, when the whole world's given up We hold the power to change a life with just one touch Come on, let's talk about love And looking back there was a man Who came from Gallice Whose only crime was loving man So they nailed him to a tree Talk about love, true love Talk about reaching out, when the whole world's given up We hold the power to change a life with just one touch Come on, let's talk about love Come on, let's talk about Love
