I wrote this anthem for my queer brothers & sisters everywhere!
lyrics
A great mind gave us wisdom to
Help us live as one (in a dream of togetherness)
But we still have to learn the lesson
Over and over and over (and our teacher's gone)
It's time to stop dreaming (do, do, do!)
Break out your higher being
Why's there all this hating? (still?)
Why don't we talk about tolerating?
Make love, then make some more, it's the
Moment we've all been waiting for
Love is what we're asking for, it's the
Time, it's the time
Make love, then make some more, it's the
Moment the whole world's ready for
Love is what we're reaching for, It's the
Time, the time to make
Love, make love, make love, make love, oo-oo yeah
We stand at the start of a new road
Taking us to Lord knows where (out there), If you're
Scared to take a step towards love and happiness you're going
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
It's time to stop dreaming (do, do, do!)
Reveal your higher meaning
Let’s stop all the hating (yes we can!)
Everybody start celebrating!
Make love, then make some more, it's the
Moment we've all been waiting for
Love is what we're asking for, it's the
Time, it's the time
Make love, then make some more, it's the
Moment the whole world's ready for
Love is what we're reaching for, it's the
Time, the time to make
Love, make love, make love, make love, oo-oo yeah
(If we)
Stand together, par-tay together, it's
Hard not to like each other
Stop waiting: start dating
Put hate right outta ya heart
Make love, make love, make love, make love, oo-oo yeah
