Love won't let us wait

Love full of prospect and gay

Love that turns

The blinded eye

Away from the big lie

To affirm the conundrum

Pasted to the sky.

Love that forgives all

Love that marches onward

Until its work is done

Love that bulldozed a way

Thru the waste place

To hand the desolate

A soul-lifting ray,

Love won't let us wait.

Love will lift the weight

Off the shoulders

Of every one of 'em displaced,

Love will fight hunger,

Love will comfort the dying,

Love will defend the weak.

Love won't let us wait.

Love will make haste

And will not delay.

Love will fill the basket

Within the poverty bracket,

To ridicule the casket,

Broker peace, silence the racket.

Love delivers on a promise

When there's nothing left to give,

Love will make it make sense

In the midst of violence.

Love will speak out

In the streets,

Pump the volume out loud

For men turned victims.

And love

This time love,

Knows that Yemen can't wait,

Love won't let us wait.
