Brother, brother, brothers
There are far too many of you dying

To bring some lovin' here today

'Cause war is not the answer
War is not the answer
Only love can conquer hate, yes

You know we've got to find a way
We've got to find a way
We've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Bring loving here today
Bring loving here
