Here, here in this world Where do we go Where can we turn When we need some love It seems that love just can't be found Where, where do we stand When love's supply don't meet love's demands We got enough stars to light the sky at night Enough sun to make the whole world bright We got more than enough But there's one thing there's just not enough of [Chorus] Not enough love and understanding We could use some love to ease these troubled times Not enough love and understanding why, oh wh-why-why Spend all of our time Building buildings up to the sky Reaching everywhere but where we need to reach the most Hearts never can win Oh, in this race This race that we're in We've got enough cars to drive around the world Enough planes to take us anywhere We got more than enough But there's one thing there's just not enough of [Chorus:Repeat x2] We need some understandin' We need a little more love Some love and understandin' Enough stars to light the sky at night Enough sun to make the whole world bright Enough hearts to find some love inside We got more than enough But there's one thing there's just not enough of [Chorus:Repeat x5]
