Where Love is King

Years ago a line was drawn 
Between the north and south 
The civil war's alive and well 
It's in your neighbor's house 
Around the corner and the bend 
The battle rages on 
All the violence on the street 
Begins in someone's home 
It's not enough to tell your children 
What's right or wrong 
Light a path that they can follow 
But carry them along (show them) 

Chorus: 
Walk to the edge of forgiveness  
Take on more step 
Have mercy on your brother  
With no regrets 
Rise up where the heart rules 
And the voices sing 
In the land where love is king 

Years ago a line was drawn  
Between the east and west 
Across the oceans here at home 
We face the human test 
Like the forest and trees 
We share a common earth 
Imagine this the world at peace 
guaranteed at birth 
Different views and different faiths 
Walk hand in hand 
The world would be a better place 
A single race (that understands) 

Walk to the edge of forgiveness 
Take one more step 
Have mercy on your brother with no regrets 
Rise up where the heart rules 
And the voices sing 
In the land where love is king 

Holy holy God on high 
Make this a holy land 
Where the people  
Aren't afraid to try  
The brotherhood of man 

Walk to the edge of forgiveness 
Take one more step 
Have mercy on your brother with no regrets 
Rise up where the heart rules 
And the voices sing 
In the land where love is king
