The Message Is Love

Al Green

All around the world there are people crying 
Can't find something to believe 
They put so much faith in people who are lying 
They're so easy to deceive 
It ain't no mystery, you know the words to set you free 
There for all the world to see 
When you got it on your side 
There's no reason left to hide 
You've got to give it to receive 

The message is love 
Love is the message and the message is love 
From the streets to the mountains to the heavens above 
Tell everybody 
Tell everybody what you're dreaming of 
Tell them Love is the message and the message is love 

Deep in every heart there-is on answer 
What will it take to make it real? 
Even a soul behind a wall of confusion 
Still can tell you what you feel 

Why must it be the sight of something burning in the 
night 
To make us hunger for the day 
It ain't no mystery, just love enough to let it be 
Everybody knows the way 

The message is love 
Love is the message and the message is love 
From the streets to the mountains to the heavens above 
Tell everybody 
Tell everybody what you're dreaming of 
Tell them Love is the message and the message is love 

Can't you hear the sound? Must be the earth spinning 
'round 
We're gonna find out just what the world is all about 

The message is love 
Love is the message and the message is love 
From the streets to the mountains to the heavens above 
Tell everybody 
Tell everybody what you're dreaming of 
Tell them Love is the message and the message is love
