[Verse 1: Terry Ellis]
She ran away from home at seventeen
Didn't know what it cost to choose her dream
And mama's at home brokenhearted
He robbed a bank, stole a car and fled the scene
Didn't stop to think about family
The ones all alone brokenhearted

[Pre-Chorus: Dawn Robinson]
Ooh, can't figure it out
What the world is comin' to
Can't figure it out
What in the world are we gonna do?
If you wanna be free
Love has gotta come from you and me
It's the only thing we got
Let's come together heart to heart

[Chorus: En Vogue, Terry Ellis]
Open your mind, can't you see (Open your heart, yeah)
The world's in need, hear the plea
Show love to your fellow man (Show love)
It's part of the master's plan
It's about love

[Verse 2: Cindy Herron]
She's very young and cries from daddy's touch
Disillusioned by life, she sings too much
And she lives her days brokenhearted, mhm
He was a soldier at war for me and you
Now he waits in line beggin' for food
A soldier who stands brokenhearted, oh-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus: Dawn Robinson]
Ooh, can't figure it out
What the world is comin' to
Can't figure it out
What in the world are we gonna do?
If you wanna be free
Love has gotta come from you and me
It's the only thing we got
Let's come together heart to heart

[Chorus: En Vogue, Terry Ellis]
Open your mind, can't you see (Open you heart)
The world's in need, hear the plea (Someone's in need)
Show love to your fellow man (Show love)
It's part of the master's plan
It's about love

[Bridge: Maxine Jones]
Please, somebody tell me, what's happenin' to humanity?
Tell me what will be our destiny
(When) When right is so wrong
And hate is so strong
We cannot heal the world without love

[Outro: En Vogue (Terry), Terry Ellis]
Open your mind can't you see (Open your mind)
The world's in need, hear the plea (Hear the plea)
Show love to your fellow man (Show love)
It's part of the master's plan (It's part of)
It's about love
Open your mind can't you see (It's about love, all about love)
The world's in need, hear the plea (Someone's in need)
Show love to your fellow man (Show love)
It's part of the master's plan
It's about love
Open your mind, can't you see (It's about love)
The world's in need, hear the plea (Can't you hear me callin')
Show love to your fellow man (Show them love)
It's part of the master's plan
It's about love
Open your mind, can't you see (Love, all about love)
The world's in need, hear the plea (Oh, it's about love)
Show love to your fellow man (Love, love)
It's part of the masters plan
It's about love (It's all about love)
Open your mind, can't you see
The world's in need, hear the plea
Show love to your fellow man
It's part of the master's plan
It's about love
