Love Within the Music
Beres Hammond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Teach the children love within the music
A little hope, so they′ll grow strong
Teach them the right, cause they know wrong

Little children love to sing to our music
So won't you sing them songs of life
Instead of building wars and strife
Love the youth
Teach them truth
Make them understand
They are weak and they seek
Loving guiding hands

For so long you′ve been playing songs
All along you've been playing wrongs
Little babes will have twisted minds
When the father will refuse to shine (refuse to shine)
Won't shine
Won′t shine (no no no)
Won′t shine until you

Teach the children love within the music
A little hope, so they'll grow strong
Teach them the right, cause they know wrong

Little children love to sing with our music
So won′t you sing them songs of life
Instead of building war and strife

Love the youth
Teach them truth
Make them understand
They are weak and they seek
Loving guiding hands

All so long you've been playing song
All along you′ve been playing wrong
Little babe will have twisted mind
Then the father will refuse to shine (shine)
Won't shine (won′t shine)
Won't shine (won't shine)
He won′t shine until you

Teach the children love within your music
A little hope, so they′ll grow strong
Teach them the right, cause they know wrong

Hey little children love to sing to our music
So won't you sing them songs of life
Instead of building war and strife
Why won′t you sing them songs of life
Won't you sing them songs of love
Why won′t you sing them songs of life
Won't you sing them songs of love




Why won′t you sing them songs of life
Won't you sing them songs of love (Sing them songs, sing them songs)

Overall Meaning

Beres Hammond's "Love Within the Music" is a plea to music creators to use their platform to educate and inspire the youth rather than fill their minds with negativity. The song begins by calling for musicians to teach children about love and hope through their music so that they may become strong and knowledgeable about the right things in life. The idea is to use the power of music to prevent the spread of war and other negative influences that would twist children's minds.


The second verse emphasizes the importance of loving and teaching the youth. The lyrics suggest that children are inherently weak and misguided and seek the guidance of loving adults to show them the way. Hammond urges musicians to understand their power and responsibility to guide the youth towards positivity and love.


The chorus repeats the earlier plea to teach love through music to the children, as they love to sing along with the music. The song ends with a final call to action to sing songs of life and love to the children, to inspire them to grow into strong and compassionate adults.
