Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
[Verse 2]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
[Verse 3]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
[Verse 4]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
[Verse 5]
This is a song for all kinds of people
All of the cities and all of the streets, yo
The synagogue and the mosque and the steeple
The battle between the good and the evil
Some shoot bullets and some shoot needles
Some are trying to get by with the legals
Getting trapped behind the concrete walls
Some are trying just to get equal
[Verse 6]
Could you ever
Could you ever
Give more today?
Could you give a little
Give a little to help love find a way?
[Verse 7]
And when you're feeling like you can't go on
Love will find a way
And through the clouds and smoke and guns and bombs
Love will find a way
And when the whole world falls on their knees to pray
That love will win today
Just keep holdin' on, holdin' on
'Cause love will find a way
[Verse 8]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
[Verse 9]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
[Verse 10]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
[Verse 11]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
[Verse 12]
Yo, nobody's born hatin' another person
A mad world puts that poison in us
But if we can learn to hate another person
Then we can learn to love a brother or sister
Another mother or mister
Don't be part of the system
Join the universal nation
Communication
Communication
In every nation
Worldwide
Worldwide
[Verse 13]
Could you ever
Could you ever
Give more today?
Could you give a little
Give a little to help love find a way?
[Verse 14]
And when you're feeling like you can't go on
Love will find a way
And through the clouds and smoke and guns and bombs
Love will find a way
And when the whole world falls on their knees to pray
That love will win today
Just keep holdin' on, holdin' on
'Cause love will find a way
[Verse 15]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
[Verse 16]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
[Verse 17]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say (Till I'm gone away)
This is what I'll say (Till I'm gone away)
[Verse 18]
Till I'm gone away (Every man, woman and child)
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
[Verse 19]
Till I'm gone away (Every cop, every nation, every style)
This is what I'll say
This is what I'll say
(To create, to liberate, and celebrate)
[Verse 20]
Till I'm gone away
This is what I'll say (Not to hate)
This is what I'll say
[Verse 21]
Peace, yo, peace, yo, peace, yo, peace, yo
Peace, yo
