Get The Word Started
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.
When the morning breaks with the rising sun
Our past mistakes are gonna be undone
'cause no other love could have opened my eyes
To the simple joy of just being alive
'cause in this world it still takes love to get the word started
Talkin' 'bout change just ain't enough to get the word started
We gotta show the world what we're made of, get the word started
These times are gonna get rough, so get the word started
Right now
When shadows fall, our love will shine
On all the good things baby that are left to find
If we don't believe that have half a chance
Then all hopes and dreams are gonna slip through our hands
