Been around the world, traveled endlessly
People hurting people is all I ever see
Abuse of authority, it's getting hard to breathe
When they speak of equality, it's getting hard to believe

What would it take for us to love now?
What would it take to let our guards down?
I know we can change 'cause we know how
What would it take for us to love now?
To love now, to love now, to love now
To love now, to love now
What would it take for us to love now?

Held back by our anger, shacklеd by our pain
But we can find our glory, we can break thеse chains
The world is still ours, this we can proclaim
All we got is each other, all we got is today

What would it take for us to love now?
What would it take to let our guards down?
It isn't too late, I know we know how
What would it take for us to love now?
To love now, to love now, to love now, ooh
To love now, to love now
What would it take for us to love now?

To love now
