WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE What the world needs now is love sweet love, It's the only thing that there's just too little of. What the world needs now is love sweet love, no not just for some but for everyone. Lord we don't need another mountain, There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb, There are oceans and rivers enough to cross Enough to last until the end of time What the world needs now is love sweet love, it's the only thing that theres just too little of, what the world needs now is love sweet love, no not just for some but for everyone Lord, we dont need another meadow, there are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow, there are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine, oh listen Lord, if you want to know What the world needs now is love sweet love, its the only thing that theres just too little of. what the world needs now is love sweet love, no not just for some, oh but just for every every everyone. what the world (whoa whoa) needs now, is love (is love) sweet love what the world ( oh oh) needs now is love (is love) sweet love what the world (whoa whoa) needs now is love (is love) sweet love... | WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE/ABRAHAM, MARTIN AND JOHN What is segregation I don´t know what seggeration is What is bigotry I don´t know what biggery is What does... hatred mean I don´t know what that is.. What is prejudice Hmm, I think it´s when someone´s sick (Whistle) Rise and shine, boys One, two, three, four One, two, three, four (Machine gun fire) Anybody here, seen my old friend John Can you tell me where he´s gone We´re at the Trademark the motorcade is coming by here I can see many, many motorcycles coming by now Police motorcycles Just heard a call on the radio For all units along Industrial To pick up the motorcade Something´s happened here we understand there has been a shooting The presidential car coming up now We know it´s the presidential car We can see mrs Kennedy´s pink suit There´s a Secret Service man spread eagle over the top of the car. We understand governor and Mrs Connolly are in the car With president and mrs Kennedy We can´t see who has been hit If anybody´s been hit But apparently something is wrong here Something is terribly wrong I am behind the motorcade now (And as you probably notice) They´re going to Parkland Hospital We interrupt this program to bring you a special bulletin: Dallas, Texas, the flash, apparently official President John F Kennedy died At 1 p.m., central standard time Anybody here, seen my old friend Martin Can you tell me where he´s gone He has freed a lot of people But it seems the good they die young We´ve got some difficult days ahead But it doesn´t really matter with me now Because I´ve been to the mountain top And I don´t mind. Like anybody I would like to live... No-one can be certain who next will suffer From some senseless act of bloodshed Anybody here, seen my old friend Bobby Can you tell me where he´s gone To send you a message I´ve been here too long already So my thanks to all of you And now let´s go on to Chicago And let´s win there... [cheers] Senator Kennedy has been.. Senator Kennedy has been shot, is that possible Oh my God, senator Kennedy has been shot. .... Hold of a man, who apparently.. just fires a shot. Get that gun, get that gun, get that gun Stay away from the gun His hand is frozen, get a hold of his palm And break it if you have to Get it... Get the gun... hold him, hold him, We don´t want another Oswald... Like it or not, we live in times of danger and uncertainty That is the way he lived That is what he leaves us. My brother need not be idealized Or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life Be remembered simply as a good and decent man Who saw wrong and tried to right it Saw suffering and tried to heal it Saw war and tried to stop it Those of us who loved him And who take him to his rest today Pray that what he was, to us What he wished for others Will some day come to pass for all the world As he said many times, in many parts of this nation those he touched, and who sought to touch him ´Some men see things as they are, and say Why I dream things that never were, and say Why Not´... What the world needs now Is love sweet love No not just for some But for eve-ry..one... What is segregation I don´t know what seggeration is What is bigotry I don´t know what biggery is What does hatred mean I don´t know what that is.. What is prejudice Hmm, I think it´s when someone´s sick... |
