Love, love, love
Love, love, love
There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game

All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All you need is love
All you need is love

Nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

The lyrics of Anita Kerr's song "All You Need Is Love" are a simple yet powerful reminder of what truly matters in life. The verses describe how everything you could ever want or need is already within yourself, and you just need to learn how to tap into it. It tells us that we are all capable of achieving our desires, but it requires us to be true to ourselves and play the game of life. Every aspect of our life is interconnected, and we need to believe that we are where we belong, and the journey is easy when we have love.
The song beautifully indicates there is no need to strive for anything else if we have love in our lives. Love is the key to happiness in life, and it is all-encompassing. We can not only find love in the people around us, but also in ourselves.
