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.
