Give a little love
Hammond & West Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Livin' in this crazy world
So caught up in the confusion
Nothin' is makin' sense for me and you.
Maybe we can find a way
there's got to be a solution
how to make a brighter day
what do we do?
We got to give a little love
have a little hope
make this world a little better
try a little more harder than before
let's do what we can do together.
Ooh
we can really make it better
ooh
only if we try.

Got the worries on our minds
got the troubles on our shoulders
sometimes it just seems so much what we got through.
But maybe if we take the time
time to understand each other
we can learn to make it right
what do we do?

ohh lalala - only if we try.

If everybody took somebody by the hand
then maybe ev'ryone could learn to love and understand.
Ooh
we can really make it better
ooh
only if we try.

Absolutely positive and warm song, bringing good mood and people together - seems that such kind of message has got lost in today‘s crazy and hateful world
