Love built this town

We all know that hatred
will tear any world asunder
cruelty and war will
unleash their senseless thunder
and their uselessness will
make it seem we'll all go under

Betrayal and mistrust
always seem to win the day
cheating, rape and treason
have their senseless useless way
but there is a better reason
that will finally save the day

        Love has made this world
        that's the warp and woof
        love of child and man and girl
        we are the living proof
        love has built this town
        that nothing will tear down
        and love is all
        the sweetest call

Love preserves the village
weaves it like a sheet
it covers every blemish
and this is where we meet
a place to heal and cherish
all that really makes us free

We all know that distrust
and dishonesty can't rule
tho' we bear the weight of lies
we've been done, we've been schooled
and we know the price of pain
we are lonely, we are fools


     but: refr.
