What the world needs now is love sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time

What the world needs now is love sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't, we don't need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Listen Lord, if you want, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love your love
What the world needs now is love (sweet, sweet), love
What the world needs now is a little faith, is a little hope
(What the world needs now is love)
We need love, we need grace, we need love...

Singing little praise
Singing little praise
Singing little praise

We need love in the morning
We need love in the morning

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love...
