Quand On N'a Que L'Amour

If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own names.
If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new world
To our daughters and sons. If we only have love
Then Jerusalem stands
And then death has no shadow
There are no foreign lands.
If we only have love
We will never bow down
We'll be tall as the pines
Neither heroes nor clowns.
If we only have love
Then we'll only be men
And we'll drink from the Grail
To be born once again
Then with nothing at all
But the little we are
We'll have conquered all time
All space, the sun, and the stars.

    Seasons In The Sun

    Goodbye, Michelle, my little one;
    You gave me love and helped me find the sun,
    And every time that I was down
    You would always come around
    And get my feet back on the ground.
    Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky;
    Now that the spring is in the air,
    With the flowers everywhere,
    I wish that we could both be there!
