Lyrics
Show me
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.
Show me the meaning of the word.
Show me the meaning of the word.
Cuz I've heard so much about it.
They say you can't live without it.
Welcome to the human race,
With its war, diseases and brutality.
You with your innocence and grace.
Restore some pride and dignity to our world in decline.
Welcome to the special place,
And our heart of stone that is cold and grey.
You with your angel face,
Keep the despair at bay, and send it away.
Show me the meaning of the word.
Show me the meaning of the word.
Cuz I've heard so much about it.
I don't want to live without it.
Oh,
I want love, I want love.
I want love.
Welcome here from outer space,
The Milky Way's still in your eyes.
You find yourself a hopeless case,
One who is seeking perfection on Earth, some kind of rebirth.
Show me the meaning of the word.
Show me the meaning of the word.
Cuz I've heard so much about it.
Don't make me live without it.
Oh, love.
I want love. I want
Love
