Let Love Reign

Last night I had a dream

Woke up in a cold sweat

Was that thunder that I heard

Or bombs dropping from a jet?

Out the window, I saw smoke

Flowin' down the street

All that’s left was graffiti

Buildings warped from the heat

Was this just a nightmare

Or maybe a warning sign? (Maybe a warning sign)

Let love reign

Let love reign down

Let love rise

From the underground

Oh, let love reign

On your enemy

Let love reign down

Over you and me

In my time, we've seen heroes

Shot down before our eyes

In my time, I've lost loved ones

Never got to say goodbye

In my time, we’ve bowed our heads

In sorrow of mankind

Raisin' hope that tomorrow

There may peace of mind

As world leaders take us

On a guided tour of Hell

(On a guided tour of Hell)

Let love reign

Let love reign down

Let love shine

On the dark side of town

Oh, let love reign

On a refugee

Let love reign down

Over you and me

There's a rose that will not wither

There's a bough that will not break

Is what you hold most precious

At the bottom of the lake?

There's an angel of darkness

And an angel of light

We got one on the left

We've got one on the right

By the light of burning crosses

In this beautiful, broken world

Let love reign

Let love reign down

Let love rise

From the underground

Oh, let love reign

Like John Lennon said

Let love reign down

For the tears that we shed

Oh, let love reign

On your enemy

Let love reign down

Over you and me
