Well, I went searching

For something I could believe

So I turned on the TV

I was fed hypocrisy

Leading me towards a sea of confusion



I heard a voice 

Ringing like music in the air

Breaking hearts most everywhere

All the people in despair

Cry out for justice to be fair to every people



Saying let's get free, let's get free

Don't just believe in what you hear

Don't just believe in what you see

Let's get free, let's get free

You've gotta open up your mind

'Cause truth is what you need

Oh, truth is what you need



All the love

Can prop you up and make you stand

Some are sinking in the sand

With all that silver in their hand

Take a message to that man

That wisdom is power



And tell me now

Do you have Allah on your side?

Or is it Jesus, or your pride?

Will it get you through the night?

Every man has to find something to believe in



Let's get free, let's get free

You gotta believe in what you feel

And feel what you believe

Let's get free, let's get free

You can open up your heart

'Cause love is all you need

Oh, love is all you need



Before the dawn

Comes the darkest hour of night

You either walk into the light

Or you turn and close your eyes

And fade into a dreamless sleep and hide



Well every human 

Is gonna laugh and sometimes cry

But every tear that fills your eyes

Falls with the weight of sacrifice

Forgiveness is the pain of disappointment



Let's get free, let's get free

Don't just believe in what you hear

Don't just believe in what you see

Let's get free, let's get free

Everything's as it should be

So faith is all you need

Oh, peace is all you need

Oh, truth is all you need, yeah



What the world needs now is love, love, love

What the world needs now is love, love, love

What the world needs now is love, love, love
