We need love, we need hope To cut away all this rope We're tied and bound, told not to make a sound They want to keep, keep our feet upon the ground We need to lift up to the sun, we need to know that we are one We are one, we are one, we are one with everyone You can't dance on the backs of the poor You can't dance like that no more You can't dance on the backs of the poor You can't dance like that no more If you can hear us, we're calling out You better hear us, we're calling out Only love can save us now Only love can save us now Now all the rage inside you feel Don't let 'em tell you it's not real Upon this earth for once in our lives You can stay asleep or you can wake to realize You can't dance on the backs of the poor You can't dance like that no more You can't dance on the backs of the poor You can't dance like that no more We need to lift up to the sun, we need to know that we are one We are one, we are one and this is the sound of connection If you can hear us, we're calling out You better hear us, we're calling out Only love can save us now Only love can save us now Only love can save us now Only love can save us now Only love can save us now Only love can save us now Only love can save us now Only love can save us now
