We need love, we need hope
To cut away all this rope
We're tied and bound, told not to make a sound
They want to keep, keep our feet upon the ground
We need to lift up to the sun, we need to know that we are one
We are one, we are one, we are one with everyone
You can't dance on the backs of the poor
You can't dance like that no more
You can't dance on the backs of the poor
You can't dance like that no more
If you can hear us, we're calling out
You better hear us, we're calling out
Only love can save us now
Only love can save us now
Now all the rage inside you feel
Don't let 'em tell you it's not real
Upon this earth for once in our lives
You can stay asleep or you can wake to realize
You can't dance on the backs of the poor
You can't dance like that no more
You can't dance on the backs of the poor
You can't dance like that no more
We need to lift up to the sun, we need to know that we are one
We are one, we are one and this is the sound of connection
If you can hear us, we're calling out
You better hear us, we're calling out
Only love can save us now
Only love can save us now
Only love can save us now
Only love can save us now
Only love can save us now
Only love can save us now
Only love can save us now
Only love can save us now
