Let There Be Love
Chris Botti Lyrics

of love, right now

Chris Botti's Let There Be Love is a simple yet heartfelt tribute to the beauty and necessity of love. The lyrics open with a call for the basic things in life, like oysters under the sea, occasional rain, chili con carne, and champagne, but quickly turn to the need for love. The use of imagery like birds singing in the trees, a lark and a dove, and cuckoos adds to the overall feeling of beauty and simplicity in life. The line "someone to bless me whenever I sneeze" shows the desire for someone who cares for us in small, everyday ways. The repetition of the request for love at the end of each verse emphasizes the importance of the emotion.

The last two stanzas of the song drive home the need for love in our lives. The use of "oh" and "really gotta have some" shows a sense of urgency and desperation for love. The repetition of "we need love" and "little bit of love" adds to the emphasis of love being a crucial part of our lives. The plea for love in this song shows how it is a universal emotion that we all crave and need, no matter our background or circumstances.
