The All Importance of Love
What on earth is more important than love
Don't think you can name me a single thing
It keeps the old world spinning round and round
That's the way it is, that's the way it has always been
Can you imagine a world without love
It's surely not somewhere I'd wanna be
Ship me off to the heavens to explore other worlds
This would no longer be home to me
Always been a lover, not a fighter
But I guess it's part of the human condition
Good or bad, agree or disagree, it's who we are
We are either happy and content with life
Or we're unhappy and hate the hand we've been dealt
Thankfully, I've been blessed and am in the former category
I live and love life to the fullest every single day
Each moment is precious, to be enjoyed
Our final day is a mystery, it's unknown to us
Sure wouldn't want to know that day anyway
Could you imagine the feeling of dread as it drew near
The days dwindling down, getting fewer and fewer
That's when love is most important
To be surrounded by caring family and friends
That's when we surely would know
The all importance of love
