Love Lights The World

[Verse 1: Peabo Bryson, Céline Dion]

Somewhere in this world

Someone shed a tear

Somebody just like you

Feels the way you do

Somewhere in this world

Someone understands

Another needs a helping hand

Help them if you can

[Pre-Chorus: Peabo Bryson, Céline Dion]

I can touch you where you are

We both share every star

'Cause a common thread runs through

Oh, life means much the same to all

So let's tear down every wall

And build a bridge from me to you

[Chorus: Color Me Badd]

When will we put fear aside? (Fear aside)

Why can't we throw away false pride?

Every heart will glow

When love lights up the world

No need to walk in the dark

We don't have to stand so far apart

Every heart will know

When love lights up the world

[Verse 2: Peabo Bryson, Peabo Bryson & Céline Dion, Color Me Badd]

Mothers everywhere

Babies at their breast

One love is like the rest

(A universal bond)

All around the world

Children laugh and play

Every boy and girl

The future of the world

As time continues on

[Pre-Chorus: Peabo Bryson, Céline Dion, All]

(I can touch you where you are)

We both share every star (Every star)

'Cause a common thread runs through

Oh, life means much the same to all

And the world has grown so strong

There's a bridge from me to you

[Chorus: All, Peabo Bryson]

When will we put fear aside?

Why can't we throw away false pride?

Every heart will glow when

When love lights up the world

No need to walk in the dark

We don't have to stand so far apart

Every heart will know

When love lights up the world

When will we put fear aside?

Why can't we throw away false pride?

Every heart will glow when

When love lights up the world

(Love's gonna light this whole world)

No need to walk in the dark

We don't have to stand so far apart

Every heart will know

When love lights up the world

(When love lights up the world)

[Refrain: All]

Love lights the world

Love lights the world

(Let me hear it one more time)

Love lights the world

(And it shines on you)

Love lights the world

Love lights the world

(Love, it lights the world)

(I'm gonna sing it one more time)

Love lights the world

Love lights the world

(Love lights up the world)

(And it shines on you)

Love lights the world

(Oh)

[Outro: Céline Dion, Peabo Bryson, All]

Love lights up the world

Love lights the world

Love lights up the world

Love, love lights up the world

Love lights up the world
