Well, I'm feeling that some things have got to change
We've been fighting for so long, and Lord knows we're not the same
Are our hands bound and our graces gone?
And are we holding on too long to all the things that we've done wrong?
I don't want something for nothing
I don't wanna be your jury or judge
If we can rise above
Then I will sing you a song for love
Well, it seems that some people ain't so good
How they criticize and politicize the things they've misunderstood
What we need is to take our time,
And be decent while we listen to the other side
I don't want something for nothing
I don't wanna be your jury or judge
If we can rise above,
Then I'll sing another song for love
She has a smile, and it opens up my soul
And it makes me feel safe for a while from a world that's grown cold
Well all say it loud, and thy will be done,
There's a light in our song that carries on
I don't want none of your money
Just trying to give a gentle nudge
If we can rise above,
Then I'll sing you a song for love
