If We Only Have Love (Quand On N'A Que L'Amour)

If we only have love, then tomorrow will dawn

And the days of our years will rise on that morn

If we only have love to embrace without fears

We will kiss with our eyes, we will sleep without tears



If we only have love with our arms open wide

Then the young and the old will stand at our side

If we only have love, love that's falling like rain

Then the parched desert earth will grow green again



If we only have love for the hymn that we shout

For the song that we sing, then we'll have a way out



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.
