What the World Needs Now Songtext
von Trijntje Oosterhuis

What the world needs now, is love, sweet love
It′s the only thing, that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, but for everyone

Lord, we don′t need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last till the end of time


What the world needs now, is love, sweet love
It's the only thing, that there's just too little of
What the world needs now, is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, but for everyone

Lord, we don′t need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheatfields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh, listen Lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now, is love, sweet love
It′s the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now, is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, but for everyone

No, not just for some
Oh, but just for every one
E-e-e-everyone


What the world needs now, is love, sweet love
