Lyrics

(We need more) love in this world.

1) Young boy in the classroom, not seeming to respond
Teacher's there with his chalk and his cane and he waves it like a magic wand
Seems to him the boy is lazy, he's sullen and he doesn't seem to care
But the pain in his heart is much heavier than lead and he's never been shown how to share - Ah, we need more love in this world.

2) Same young boy sitting down at his desk, looking through the window at the sky
Watching as the leaves float down from the Autumn trees, watching as his life slips by
Teacher's very good at reading, but here's book he doesn't understand
What the boy is needing is a lot of sympathy and an overdose of helping hand - Ah, we need more love in this world

(Middle Eight) Love is patient and kind
Love can see when sometimes eyes are blind
Love can help to ease the pain
Make an overturned ship the right way up again - Ah, we need more love in this world.

3) Did you know he'd lost his mother, when no-one in his life had been prepared?
Her place was taken by no other, and no-one ever really cared.
He can't explain to you his feelings,
He's still too shocked to comprehend
For the world , it still goes on, you know the pace is just too fast for a young boy's heart to have the chance to mend - Ah, we need more love in this world...
