This is the life that we get These are the cards that we've been dealt Why do we doubt, when we should turn our way There's only one shot, one chance It can be done within a glance Together we go, it's a walk on this wire I don't want to believe that we're givin' up On a world that's growing cold The story's getting old Where is love when it's gone with the wind and a saint would turn to sin Where is love when a kid's gotta run in a blaze from a gun Where is love when a man has to say I see my whole life fade away Where is love when the hate is too strong
Where is love when it's gone Is it beyond the sea Does it hide beneath the willow tree Waiting for us to get back where we're from Hope you will forgive us for what we've done We don't know where to begin We're too numb to take it in Where is love when it's gone with the wind and a saint would turn to sin Where is love when a kid's gotta run in a blaze from a gun Where is love when a friend fades away On the streets where we used to play Where is love when the hate is too strong Where is love when it's gone
