D7
Love is understanding, don't you know that this is true?
                                E7
Love is understanding, it's in everything we do.

[VERSE]
D7
In this generation, in this lovin' time.
                             E7
In this generation, we will make the world-a shine.

[CHORUS]
A7               D7
We were born to love one another,
A7                 E7
This is something we all need.
A7               D7
We were born to love one another,
E7                     F7
We must be what we're going to be,
G7                  A7      D7
And what we have to be   is free.
