We can say all of the right things
Preach a sermon all day long
And still get it wrong
Gotta have love, oh
They’re gonna know us by our love

We can build the tallest steeples
Lift our voices to the sky
But they’d only get so high
Without love, oh
They’re gonna know us by our love

So come on all my sisters and brothers
We can all give a little more help to each other
When it’s all been said and done
They’re gonna know us by our love

We can’t get to where we’rе going
‘Til we decide to lеt ‘em go
All our reasons to withhold
All our love, oh
We’ll never make it without love

Reach out now and take a hand
Help somebody while we can
Things will get better when
We learn to love somebody, love somebody
Reach out now and take a hand
Help somebody yes we can
Things will get better when
We learn to love somebody, love somebody
