I look around at all the faces and I see All the lonely people looking back at me Rich, poor don't matter we're all the same Everybody's hungry in a different way We're clawin' and climbin' and kickin' and screamin' and fightin' but really [Chorus] What the world needs now is love Love and only love A little help from up above Faith to make a better day Let's come together Lay our differences down Spread it all around That's what the world needs now (La, la, la, la, la) Sometimes all it takes is just a smile To change somebody's weather Chase the clouds out of their sky Sometimes you gotta give and not receive Sometimes you gotta live what you believe Open your arms cause that's where it starts Right here with you and with me [Chorus] Nobody likes the cold We all need someone to hold No one wants to be alone [Chorus: x3]
