If we only have love

Then tomorrow will dawn

And the days of our years

Will rise on that morn



If we only have love

To embrace without fears

We will kiss with our eyes

We will sleep without tears



If we only have love

With our arms open wide

Then the young and the old

Will stand at our side



If we only have love

Love that's falling like rain

Then the parched desert earth

Will grow green again



If we only have love

For the hymn that we shout

For the song that we sing

Then we'll have a way out



If we only have love

We can reach those in pain

We can heal all our wounds

We can use our own names



If we only have love

We can melt all the guns

And then give the new world

To our daughters and sons



If we only have love

Then Jerusalem stands

And then death has no shadow

There are no foreign lands



If we only have love

We will never bow down

We'll be tall as the pines

Neither heroes nor clowns



If we only have love

Then we'll only be men

And we'll drink from the Grail

To be born once again



Then with nothing at all

But the little we are

We'll have conquered all time

All space, the sun, and the stars
