EARTHWIND & FIRE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryin' to bloom in a dry barren land
But then comes a sweet spring shower
Just to lend a helpin' hand
Like the love of you and I
All at once it came alive
You brought love
And your love is life
And how tender she treats a child
And the birds in the treetops
How they protect their young from the wild
And girl your love
It comforts me
And that's my security
You brought love
And your love is life
You brought love
And your love is life
This is the song of love
Let everyone sing along
Let everyone sing along
Give it all from the heart
Don't wait, don't wait 'til tomorrow
