Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Long ago, in the book of old
Before the chapter where dreams unfold
A battle raged on the open page
Love was the winner there, overcoming hate
Like a little girl who couldn't wait
[Chorus]
Love and only love will endure
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
Love and only love will break it down
[Refrain]
Break it down
Love will break it down
Love will break it down
[Verse 2]
Tomorrow is a long, long time
When you're a memory
Tryin' to find peace of mind
Spirit, come back to me
Give me strength and set me free
Let me feel the magic in my heart
[Chorus]
Love and only love will endure
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
Love and only love will break it down
[Refrain]
Break it down
Break it down
[Verse 3]
Long ago, in the book of old
Before the chapter where dreams unfold
A battle raged on the open page
Love was the winner there, overcoming hate
Like a little girl who couldn't wait
[Chorus]
Love and only love will endure
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
Love and only love
[Outro]
Love and only love will break it down
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
