Lyrics

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 every, every, 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 every, everyone
Lord, we don't need, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Listen, Lord, if you want, if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, Your love
What the world needs now is love, love, love, love
(Sweet, sweet love)
What the world needs now is a little faith
(Sweet love)
Is a little hope
(What the world needs now)
We need love
We need grace
We need love
(We need Your mercy, reveal to our grace)
(Show us the kindness that comes from Your face)
What the world needs now is love
(Your love)
(Your love, we need your mercy, reveal to our grace)
We need love
(Show us the kindness that comes from your face)
We need peace
We need peace on Earth
(More love)
More love
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yeah
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Say a little prayer
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Say a little prayer
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, say a little prayer
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Say a little prayer
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
We need love in the morning
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
We need love in morning
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
What the world needs
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is love, sweet love
What the world needs now
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is love, sweet love
What the world needs now
