[chorus]
All we need is
All we need is
All we need is love, love
All we need is
All we need is
All we need is love, love, love
[verse 1]
Love me or love me not
Iâm on a mission to change things
Embracing hurt feelings, erasing shame that pain brings
Youâre more than a skin tone
More than a neighborhood
Broken on the inside, but outside everything is good
Smiles in bad times âcause last time they caught you
In a moment of weakness and it wonât be repeated
You were ridiculed and bullied, didnât understand it fully
Just wanted to fit in, for once just have friends
You wonder if thereâs someone out there who cares
Who isnât hung up by the type of clothes that you wear
Who isnât cool with people straight attacking ya âcause you donât talk black enough
Or too white to fit in, or just look different
Listen, I understand Iâve been through all that
It looks like a mountain, thinking, âI canât move all thatâ
But itâs all about prospective âcause one second that mountainâs haunting
Then next the mountains gone âcause right now youâre standing on it
[chorus]
[verse 2]
You and your clique
The crew of dudes you usually kick it with
Strive for good times and thatâs why you spend time making jokes, getting laughs
Nothing wrong with that
Besides, look at these kids, it's too easy to pass
Plus it's all in good fun, nobody really gets hurt
We wouldn't call ourselves bullies âcause it's only some words
Let's be honest, all these people really want to be us
Popular, trendy
In a lot of ways they need us
Huh, is that really your defense?
Does that excuse what you said, what you did with your friends?
No, not even close
I know you heard that before
I know you didn't use your hands, but you did you metaphors
No one deserves the outskirts
You knock people down âcause you got knocked down first
The cycle continues until we start treating people the way that we want to be treated
[chorus]
[bridge]
It ainât hard to love
Itâs just easier to be quiet
Easier to keep silent
But that just wonât do
Live out life and love
I know its hard, but trust me itâs worth it
And I know you deserve it
Stand and fight in this war of life and love x2
Love can push the hurt away
Love can stand for you and say
That Iâm different, but I promise you thatâs okay
Love can push the hurt away
Love can stand for you and say
That weâre different, but I promise you thatâs okay
[chorus]
