Lately a lot has been bugging me
I was losing my mind until suddenly
I came across a candle in the dark
And then the light just came hugging me
My baby sit down and listen
Let me just give you a vision
To be a light is the mission
To be a light is the mission
This little world's gonna shake you
Gonna try everything to break you
And there's no way not to get hurt
You'll get mud stains on your sweatshirt
But none of dat will matter anyway
Only thing that matters is you fight away the hate
Only thing that matters is you turn the other cheek
Know that love is worth the most - every other thing is cheap
I just want you to know
That the world is a little cold
So me dɔ, you've got to love anyway
I just want you to know
That the world is a little cold
So me dɔ, you've got to love anyway
That's what this life is about
We're all trying to figure it out
But if we know the Truth
Then we know The way, whether in plenty or drought
Lay down your life for another
Be more like lightning than thunder
Let your light shine, let it hit the ground
When's the right time? Let's just make it now
But what do I know? I'm just a black guy
Asking the same question as the black eyed peas
Where is the love? Where is the love?
Repeat after me, Enough is enough
Enough with the hate, enough with the bombs
It's never too late for all to be one
Sing a new song, bring out the drum
The night has been long, but I see the Son
I just want you to know
That the world is a little cold
So me dɔ, you've got to love anyway
I just want you to know
That the world is a little cold
So me dɔ, you've got to love anyway
