Everybody has wisdom, everyone understands
Food when we are hungry
The touch of loving hands
No-one is anyone's property
No-one should be a slave
The joining of hearts in free will
Begins a tidal wave
Don't hold back
Don't think that hope is pointless
Love is a, Love is a, Love is a, Love is
An open door
Don't believe that life is closed against us
Love is a, Love is a, Love is a, Love is
An open door
And it doesn't make any difference
The colour of anyone's skin
We need the rejection of prejudice
Let peace come flooding in
Jealousy is just a parasite, hatred is disease
Respect for human dignity
Become skittering wind blown leaves
The time is surely coming when we could all be free
When eyes for so long blinded
In opening shall see
That children may grow happily
Safe in the love of all
The earth a fertile garden where no-body need crawl
And if it seems that your hoping heart
Has led you into pain
Take a tip from the carpenter
Forgive and love again...
...and again

'Love Song' by Geoff Mann. Unfortunately this is only a clip of the song.
I first heard Geoff Mann on a Prog Rock SI Sampler CD around 1993 I think. My brother played drums for an excellent Northern Irish Prog Rock band called Winter. They were influenced by Rush and Marillion. They released a record called Across The Circles Edge. Great album. One of the songs was on that particular SI Sampler.
Anyway, Geoff Mann also had a track on that SI Sampler CD - Apathetic and Here I. Great song. IQ did a cover of it a few years back.
Anyway, just thought I'd post up this clip from 'Love Song' by the late and great - Geoff Mann.
Brian.
