Now everybody Has a right to be living their life Oh but we're a long long way A long way from paradise If there is freedom Tell me why everybody wants to fight Oh 'cause we're a long long way A long way from paradise You might be strong enough You might be rich enough You might be blind enough To push it all aside No matter what you do It all keeps coming back to me and you --- Give a little bit of love And you get it back Give a little bit of pain You're caught in a trap For every little thing that you say or do Give a little bit of love And it will come back to you You got your reasons Are you sure there Reasons to be right Oh 'cause we're a long long way A long way from paradise Don't let your anger Or your fear become your suicide 'Cause we're a long long way A long way from paradise You must be strong enough We must be great enough We've waited long enough Now it's time to say goodbye We got some rules to burn So many lessons to be learned --- Now I believe in peace and harmony You've got to believe in love Before you can be free So take a hand Everybody make a friend I want you to believe in love Like I believe
