Love Is Everything Lyrics

words and music by Mark Gersmehl


don't you let anyone say
it's a jungle out there
so jump in the fray
there is a far better way
love
love is everything

take an axe to the family tree
cut the cords of society
then the only one left to love
is named me
and that's nothing
when love is everything

love, love, love
love is everything
love is everything
love, love, love
love is everything
love is everything

you can clench your teeth on the taste of hate
'cause someone will hurt you
sooner than late
but your heart will collapse from the weight
of nothing

when there are faces to hold, memories to heal
hands to touch, summer nights to feel
deeper than deep in your heart
you can know what is real
that love is everything

love, love, love
love is everything
love is everything
love, love, love
love is everything
love is everything

war is hell and hate's a machine
the world is full of little kings and queens
but it's time to forgive, hope and dream
and love
'cause love is everything

love, love, love
love is everything
love is everything
love, love, love
love is everything
love is everything

so bring everything that your heart can bear
live your life like a holy prayer
before your gaze comes to rest

on an empty chair...
