I look around at all the faces and I see

All the lonely people looking back at me

Rich poor don't matter we're all the same

Everybody's hungry in a different way

We're clawing and climbing and kicking

And screaming and fighting but really

What the world needs now is love

Love and only love

A little help from up above

Faith to make a better day

Let's come together

Lay our differences down

Spread it all around

That's what the world needs now

Sometimes all it takes is just a smile

To change somebody's weather

Chase the clouds out of their sky

Sometimes you gotta give and not receive

Sometimes you gotta live what you believe

Open your arms cause that's where it starts

Right here with you and with me

What the world needs now is love

Love and only love

A little help from up above

Faith to make a better day

Let's come together

Lay our differences down

Spread it all around

That's what the world needs now

Hi

Nobody likes the cold

We all need someone to hold

No one wants to be alone

What the world needs now is love

Love and only love

A little help from up above

Faith to make a better day

Let's come together

Lay our differences down

Spread it all around

That's what the world

What the world needs now

Is love and only love

Faith to make a better day

Let's come together

Lay our differences down

Spread it all around

That's what the world needs now

Is love and only love
