Hey there, Mr. Lonely Heart, if you could find the time

I would like to sit and talk, to see if we could find

The answer to the mystery of loves most precious seed

Is it in a touch or in a kiss or simply in the need



Or is it really love itself that always wants to give

The heart and soul of all of us and everything that lives



Hey there, Mr. Cold, Cold Heart, I know I could be wrong

To think that life could be so sweet and love could be so strong

As to gather everyone of us, like one big family

To share with one another all we have and all we see



Its true the deepest part of us is everywhere the same

And that the only differences are really just the names



We can join the childrens song and show them that we care

Let them know were on their side, no matter when or where

We can free their hearts from fear and hunger reconcile

We can give a child a chance and give a child a smile



True love is still the answer, and we are still the way

The gift is in the giving, and in living what we say



And if you have a lonely heart, this song is just for you

To ask for all that you can give and all that you can do

Remember that the mystery of loves most precious seed



Is in the heart of all of us, true love is all we need

Its in the heart of all of us, true love is all we need

Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need



Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need

Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need

Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need

Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need
