by our love

We can say all of the right things

Preach a sermon all day long

And still get it wrong

Gotta have love, oh

They're gonna know us by our love

We can build the tallest steeples

Lift our voices to the sky

But they'd only get so high

Without love, oh

They're gonna know us by our love

So come on all my sisters and brothers

We can all give a little more help to each other

When it's all been said and done

They're gonna know us by our love

We can't get to where we're going

'Til we decide to let 'em go

All our reasons to withhold

All our love, oh

We'll never make it without love

So come on all my sisters and brothers

We can all give a little more help to each other

When it's all been said and done

They're gonna know us by our love

Reach out now and take a hand

Help somebody while we can

Things will get better when

We learn to love somebody, love somebody

Reach out now and take a hand

Help somebody yes we can

Things will get better when

We learn to love somebody, love somebody

Reach out now and take a hand

Help somebody while we can

Things will get better when

We learn to love somebody, love somebody

Reach out now and take a hand

Help somebody while we can

Things will get better when

We learn to love somebody, love somebody

Oh, yeah

So come on all my sisters and brothers

We can all give a little more help to each other

When it's all been said and done

They're gonna know us by our love

Yeah, when it's all been said and done

They're gonna know us by our love
