Lyrics

Now everybody has a right to be living their lives Ooo, but we're a long long way, a long way from paradise; If there is freedom, tell me why everybody wants to fight 'Cause we're a long long way, a long way from paradise You might be strong enough YOu might be rich enough You might be blind enough To push it all aside No matter what you do It keeps comin' back to me and you... Give a little bit of love and you get it back Give a little bit of pain, you're caught in a trap For every little thing that you say or do Give a little bit of love and it will come back to you. You've got your reasons, but are you sure they're reasons to be right? 'Cause we're a long long way a long way from paradise Don't let your anger or your fear become your suicide 'Cause we're a long long way, a long way from paradise We must be strong enough We must be great enough We've waited long enough Now it's time to say goodbye; We've got some rules to burn So many lessons to be learned Give a little bit of love and you get it back Give a little bit of pain, you're caught in a trap For every little thing that you say or do Give a little bit of love and it will come back to you. Now I believe in peace and harmony You've got to believe in love Before you can be free So take a hand, everybody make a friend I want you to believe in love Like I believe
