If We Only Have Love

If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years
Will rise on that morn

If we only have love
To embrace without fears
We can kiss with our eyes
We can sleep without tears

If we only have love
With our arms open wide
Then the young and the old
Will stand at our side

If we only have love
Love that's falling like rain
Then the parched desert earth
It will grow green again

If we only have love
For the hymns that we shout
For the songs that we sing
Then we'll have a way out

If we only have love
We can reach all those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own names

If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
We can give the new world
To our daughters and sons

If we only have love
Then Jerusalem stands
And then death, death has no shadow
There are no foreign lands

If we only have love
Then none of us will ever have to bow down
We'll be tall as the pines
Neither heroes nor clowns

If we only have love
Then we'll be only men
And we'll drink from the Grail
To be born once again

Then with nothing at all
But the little we are
We'll have conquered all time
All space, the Sun, and the stars
The stars
