I Want Love

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I woke up this morning

Hunger was gnawing my soul

But the preacher man's sermon

Won't put no food in my bowl

Abidjan to Monrovia

Looking for food and a home

Instead I found factions and armies

In the middle of a combat zone

I want love, I need love

I want love

I want love, I need love,

And a little food in my bowl

Here in this tribal warfare

For food you need money or a gun

I signed up - whose side I don't care

At least now I'm someone

At parade time the grown-ups are cruel

And all of the soldiers are small

Commanders and capitains and colonels

All kids with their backs to the wall

I want love, I need love

I want love

I want love, I need love,

And a little food in my bowl

They told me I'm joining a family

But here I ain't nobody's son

My brothers are right here beside me

We share our hunger and we share our gun

Tomorrow we start the offensive

Been drinking palm wine all day

Grigrimen can keep us from bullets

But hash won't keep hunger at bay

I want love, I need love

I want love

I want love, I need love,

And a little food in my bowl

When it's time the small soldiers march forward

When one falls the next takes his gun

Four to one AK47

I was number three but now I'm gone

Our future is dying right here

Children only ten years old

In this tribal colonial nightmare

We're reaping the seeds you have sown

We're reaping the seeds you have sown

We want love, we need love

All of us want love

We want love, we need love

And a little food in my bowl
