Love Is All

Beating drums through the night
Flaming lights in the sky
Marching feet, fisted hands
For a cause I don’t understand
Hiding low and pray it will pass
Maybe there’ll be day at last
Where the children used to play
Lies broken glass and fields of clay
All the good that is gone
In this life that we’re given
My absolution seems not enough
‘cause still the tender turns to tough
In desperation we try
To understand why
And the destruction that you bring
Don’t you know…? Will never solve a thing
No truth, no religion
No oath you are given
No knowledge of history
Can seem to reveal our mystery
No faith and no writing
No law and no fighting
No decree and no hidden sign
Can make us deny
We are one and love is all
Tell me when your task is done
Show me now the victory won
Will rock and stone start to sing?
Bleeding wounds heal again?
Oh… In desperation we try
To understand why
And the destruction that you bring
Don’t you know…? Will never solve a thing
