We've Got Nothing But Love To Prove
Faith Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if no one ever had to go to war
What if the children of the world made world decisions
Paint-by-number hatred wasn't hanging around anymore
Is everything A-OK in the USA
In the good ole USA
Is everything A-OK in the USA
It's like everything and nothing leads to wisdom
It's like no one really means what they say
While we fight for peace & die for our freedom
I guess we'll leave it to our children to find a better way
Is everything A-OK in the USA
In the good ole USA
Is everything A-OK in the USA
In the good ole USA [Repeat]
I know that I, I'm just a dreamer
A common man, schemer
Looking for light
Out of the dark night of my soul
I hear the drums of war, they are a changing
and everybody's getting in the groove
We're laughing and dancing and talking and
Jammin' and singin'
Oh, we've got nothin' but love to prove, so how about you
Is everything A-OK in the USA
In the good ole USA
Is everything A-OK in the USA
In the good ole USA
The lyrics of Faith Hill's "We've Got Nothing but Love to Prove" confront profound social and political issues in a hopeful and optimistic yet cautious manner. The first verse raises the question of the world without the religious and political violence and discrimination that has existed and continues to exist in many parts of the world today. Hill calls for a world where the children of the world make the decisions, and hate is not prevalent. The second verse acknowledges the current state of the world where true peace is a far cry as people continue to fight for peace and freedom but end up losing their lives. Hill's lyrics emphasize the need for a better way, as we must leave it to our children to find it.
The chorus of the song, "Is everything A-OK in the USA," asks the listener to reflect on the actions and decisions of the United States as a country. The repeated question aims to create a sense of responsibility and accountability for the actions that the country takes or fails to take. The lyrics imply that the pursuit of wisdom is not easy, and while we may strive to find truth in our world, sometimes everything and nothing leads to knowledge. The song ends on a hopeful and joyful note, calling people to unite and find the love that connects them despite their differences by singing, dancing, and talking.
