George Huff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But i'm guilty nonetheless so many people lost so many people hurting
And i wish i had a way to make everything okay
I don't know why how we got here i reach inside
The answers clear...
[Chorus:]
It can take the blame only love can realize nothing more we need
Cause its all inside
So we'll fight, fight and we wont let go
And we'll reach up high 'Till everybody knows
Only love can understand Only love can bring us together again
And it seems since time began that people just been fighting
And it ain't just black or white and it ain't just wrong or right
And I get overwhelmed so disconnected 'till you reach out to me
You know just what i need
As long as i can hold you near its gonna be alright
Wont have no fear
[CHORUS]
I pray for peace to shine on me and you
I pray for strength hope and faith
For love to lead the way
We'll be one on one and we'll rise above
Only love, love, love
