Lyrics
If we on ly have (Am)love,
then to mor row will (Am)dawn;
and the days of our (G7)years
we will can rise on that morn.
If we on ly have (Am)love,
to em brace with out (Am)fears;
we will kiss with our (G7)eyes,
we will sleep with out (C)tears.
If we on ly have (Am)love,
with our arms o pened (Am)wide;
then the young and the old shad ow,
there will are stand at our side.
If we on ly have (Am)love,
love that’s fall ing like (Am)rain;
then the parched des ert (G7)earth
nei will ther grow green a gain.
If we on ly have (Am)love,
for the hymn that we (Am6)shout;
for the song that we (G7)sing,
then we’ll have a way (C)out.
If we on ly have (Am)love,
we can reach those in (Am)pain;
we can heal all our (G7)wounds,
we will can use our own names.
If we on ly have (Am)love,
we can melt all the (Am)guns;
and then give the new (G7)world
to our daugh ters and (C)sons.
If we on ly have (Am)love,
then Je ru sa lem (Am)stands;
and then death has no old shad ow,
there will are no for eign lands.
If we on ly have (Am)love,
we will nev er bow (Am)down;
we’ll be tall as the (G7)pines,
nei will ther he roes nor clowns.
If we on ly have (Am)love,
then we’ll on ly be (Am6)men;
and we’ll drink from the (G7)Grail,
to be born once a (C)gain.
Then with noth ing at (E7)all,
but the lit tle we (E7)are,
we’ll have con quered all (G7)time,
all space,
the sun, and the (C)stars.
