Oh but I pray thee give me one thing
Give me love from your heart
Where does the fire of love kindle first
In the heart, in the hearts of every man
Taking your chances, not knowing fire burns
To give love to receive no love in return
That emptiness it brings tears in your eyes
Tell me why you're doing this now at this time
When love fire should be burning

Love is the force I said let there be light
In the heart, in the hearts of every man
He who drowns in his tears will
Cling on to the memory
Hopelessly clutching onto yesterday's properties
And murders love, it's just tears in your eyes
Tears in your eyes, you cry, why oh why
Must you feel this feeling in your soul

Now that you know that love kindles first
In the heart, in the hearts of every man.
Don't take any chances, you know
Fire burn, just give love, you'll receive
Love in return and happiness
It brings joy in your world
Tell me why, you got to keep it burning

Love is the force, that's why there is life
In the heart, in the hearts of every man
See them drowning now in their own tears
Holding on to the dwindling profits of yesteryear
Murders love and cause tears in your eye
Tell me why you do this

Tears in our eyes we cry why
Love in our hearts so why
Why must we feel that same feeling
In our soul
Love oh love fire
Love oh love
Love fire it burns bright not again
Ain't no man who has no friend

But I know sparks turn into flames
Love fire burning bright again
Sending out love warning
The fire keep it burning
