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
Bridge
(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 above
let there be love, let there be love
