Love's On Its Way

Corinne Bailey Rae · The Sea [2010]

[Verse 1:]

Oh Father,

I wish I had understanding.

Never known more

Never been so well informed

We know the score

Heard it all before,

But I've never felt more powerless



There's so much blood on the streets

So much hope refused

So much grainy teenage photographs on the evening news



Oo, when everywhere's violence

Silently I go



[Chorus:]

Love's on its way

I hope it won't be too late



[Verse 2:]

When the day comes

And I've counted all my sins

How mant I'll see

I want to be able to say that I did more, more than pray

I did more

Than just spend my money

Just writing letters

Than just going out marching

I did more than talking and saying the right thing

Wearing the right thing

It's time for an uprising



[Chorus:]

Love's on its way

Hope it won't be too late



Love's on its way

Love's on its way

Love's on its way



Hope it won't be too late
