Lyrics
Lovesick baby in our midst
Tried to give the world a great big kiss
It’s really got me wondering what they saw
Oh dancing neath the stars in the mud and straw
Mm-hmm
Mm-hmm
A hope and a promise born of blood
We’ve come a long way from the flood
Opened their eyes so they could see
Then left them choking on your honesty
Oh yeah
Mm-hmm
With a dream and a hope for a better way
The sun breaks through on a cloudy day
Saying wake up people now can’t you see
That love is our greatest legacy
Oh love is our greatest legacy
Oh yeah
Mm-hmm
I want to understand what you held dear
Some who claim to know aren’t too sincere
They’ve got a passion for power and a lust for gold
And that don’t quite jibe with the tales you told
Oh no
Mm-hmm
With a dream and a hope for a better way
The sun breaks through on a cloudy day
Saying wake up people now can’t you see
That love is our greatest legacy
Oh love is our greatest legacy
Oh yeah
Mm-hmm
Well the years did come and the years did go
All the good and the bad that we’ve come to know
Still trying to understand what went on that night
He said it takes a child to get it right
He said it takes a child to get it right
Oh yeah
Mm-hmm
A lovesick little baby was born that day
Saying love ain’t just some word, but it’s also the way
So keep reminding me baby, help me see
That it’s not just you, but it’s you through me
It’s not just you, but it’s you through me
Dancing through our humanity
And love is your greatest legacy
Oh love is your greatest legacy
Oh yeah
Mm-hmm
Oh love
