Only Love
O.B.C. Lyrics

The sun is shining through
The morning is beautiful, which is a sign of good fortune.

Oh this perfect morning
The morning is perfect, but it's not necessarily a reflection of the world's current state.

And I know that I am blessed
The singer acknowledges the privilege they have in their life.

But I'm guilty nonetheless
Despite blessings, there is still guilt for not being able to fix the world's problems.

So many people lost
There are many people who are lost and struggling.

So many people hurting
There are many people who are in pain emotionally, mentally or physically.

And I wish I had a way
The singer is helpless, as they don't have the ability to heal or fix the problems of the people around them.

To make everything okay
The singer wants to offer a solution to make everything better.

I don't know why
The singer is confused and cannot understand how things have gotten this bad.

How we got here
The singer cannot understand the root cause of the world's problems.

But I reach inside
The singer is looking for a solution within themselves to fix the world's problems.

And the answer's clear
The answer to fixing the world's problems is to love each other.

Only love can heal the pain
The only way to relieve pain is through love.

It can right the wrong
Love has the power to make up for past wrongs.

Can take the blame
Love can own up to its mistakes.

Only love can realize
Love is the only thing we need to understand each other and achieve peace.

Nothin' more we need
Nothing more is needed to heal the world except love.

Cause it's all inside
The power to heal and come together is within us all.

So we fight, fight, fight
We must constantly struggle to overcome obstacles and spread love.

And we won't let go and we reach up high
We will strive to the best of our abilities to make the world a better place.

Til everybody knows
The singer hopes that one day everyone will acknowledge that love is the key to fixing the world's problems.

Only love can understand
Love is the only way to empathize with others.

Only love can bring us together again
Love is the only thing that can reunite and reconcile a divided world.

and it seems since time began
People have been fighting since the beginning of time.

That people just been fightin'
Fighting has been and still is a common occurrence in human history.

And it ain't just black or white
There are more complexities to the world's problems beyond race (e.g. religion, politics).

And it ain't just wrong or right
There are nuances to the world's problems that cannot be solved simply by labeling a person or side as 'wrong' or 'right'.

And I get so overwhelmed
The singer feels hopeless and burdened by the world's issues.

So disconnected
The singer feels isolated and separated from others.

Til you reach out to me
Love and connection from another person can help combat isolation and hopelessness.

You know just what I need
The person who reaches out knows how to comfort and connect with the singer's needs.

as long as I
With the condition of having someone there for them,

Can hold you near
When the person who understands them is close,

It's gonna be alright
The singer can overcome the world's problems.

Won't have no fear
They will no longer be afraid of the world's problems.

I pray for peace to shine on you and me
The singer hopes for peace for all individuals.

I pray for strength, hope and faith
The singer hopes that people will have the strength, hope and faith to continue fighting for peace.

For love to lead the way
The singer believes that love is the only way forward.

and we won't run run
The singer and listeners will not give up or run away from fighting for love.

And we'll rise above
The singer and listeners will strive to succeed in the face of adversity.

Only love, love, love
All we need is love.

and we'll fight, fight, fight
We will continuously fight for love.

For the light, light, light
We are fighting for a brighter future.

And we won't stop, no
We won't stop fighting for love even when it feels like we're failing.

chorus
The chorus reiterates that love is the only way to heal the world and come together as one.
