We've got the power, we've got the hunger for the search

As we race across the heavens to embrace the universe

In this hour and in truth what is it worth

When we can't escape the madness

We've created on this earth



They say that money talks but you and I

Know places money just don't say enough



Let there be love where there is emptiness

Let there be faith where hope is gone

Let there be strength where there is helplessness

And open eyes to see right from wrong

We've gotta find a way to trust

The very best in all of us

Let there be love, let there be love



We live divided behind imaginary walls

Brother against brother, we just watch each other fall

With hearts united we will never stand so tall

Reachin' out to one another

We'll find the meaning of it all



Ain't one power we will ever know

Could ever heal the poverty of the soul



Let there be love where there is emptiness

Let there be faith where hope is gone

Let there be strength where there is helplessness

And open eyes to see right from wrong

We've gotta find a way to trust

To forgive and rise above

Let there be love, let there be love



(When will we learn, tell me when will we see)

How many more promises spoken

While the dreams of the innocent die

Every day another heart gets broken

While the flame of hate survives

When will the healing begin in our lives



Let there be love where there is emptiness

Let there be faith where hope is gone

Let there be strength where there is helplessness

And open eyes to see right from wrong

We've gotta find a way to trust

The very best in all of us

Gotta be more than wise enough

To forgive and rise abo
