The Antidote

Hate plagues the world and kills relationship Before it ever could start Imperfect creatures that are insecure So we hide behind our broken hearts Keep distance from those who need us 'Cause we won't admit that we need them too Afraid to give ourselves to someone else Because we're scared of what we might lose Everyone wants to be understood So why don't we just listen more and get off our pedestals? Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh I've seen the darkness be defeated Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh I've seen the power, I believe it now (I believe it now) Love is the antidote (yeah, I believe it now, I believe it now) Our one and only hope to turn the world around You become the cancer When you start to think you've got it all figured out (hey-hey!) So why would we believe that our opinions Would be enough to show the world what love's about? Stop and think before you speak Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh I've seen the darkness be defeated Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh I've seen the power, I believe it now (I believe it now) Love is the antidote (yeah, I believe it now, I believe it now) Our one and only hope to turn the world around The words you speak can set a broken world free The power lies in who we choose to be Stop trying to solve the problems That you don't understand Maybe if we learned to show compassion The world wouldn't think we had guns in our hands Called to love, called to lead Have we forgotten who we're called to be? Build them up, don't break them down The way we love can turn the world around Turn the world around Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh I've seen the darkness be defeated Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh I've seen the power, I believe it now (I believe it now) Love is the antidote (yeah, I believe it now, I believe it now) Our one and only hope to turn the world around Stop and think before you speak
