Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough
To climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last 'till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just
Too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough
To shine
Oh, listen, lord, if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just
Too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, oh, but just
For ever, every, everyone
