(Pound Lamb)



There's a little girl across the railroad tracks

From the poor side of town

The only clothes that she has ever known

Are some worn out jeans her brother handed down

But everyday on the way to school

She sees a homeless in the street

She takes a quarter she saved for milk

And lays it on the sidewalk at her feet



Talk about love, true love

Talk about reaching out, when the whole world's given up

We hold the power to change a life with just one touch

Come on, let's talk about love



There's a little boy in a private room

Who's living way beyond his fears

He sees the promise that each new day brings

'Cause he knows he might not be here next year

He tells jokes that make the children laugh

Which makes their parents cry

It's just a shame it takes tragedy

To make us see the beauty in this life



Talk about love, true love

Talk about reaching out, when the whole world's given up

We hold the power to change a life with just one touch

Come on, let's talk about love



And looking back there was a man

Who came from Gallice

Whose only crime was loving man

So they nailed him to a tree



Talk about love, true love

Talk about reaching out, when the whole world's given up

We hold the power to change a life with just one touch

Come on, let's talk about love

Come on, let's talk about

Love
