Give More Love – lyrics
written by Ringo Starr & Gary Nicholson
Sometimes this world can be a hard place
We wonder where we go from here
So many hurting bad
Lost everything they had
It’s hard to know what we can doGive more love
Give more love
It’s what we know we need more of
From the heart
Let it start
To spread to everyone
Now it’s up to you
There’s something you can do
Give more love
Give more love
Give more loveSo many times when hearts are broken
So many angry words get spoken
Let’s all try to understand
Reach out a helping hand
Find a way to make it right
We wonder where we go from here
So many hurting bad
Lost everything they had
It’s hard to know what we can doGive more love
Give more love
It’s what we know we need more of
From the heart
Let it start
To spread to everyone
Now it’s up to you
There’s something you can do
Give more love
Give more love
Give more loveSo many times when hearts are broken
So many angry words get spoken
Let’s all try to understand
Reach out a helping hand
Find a way to make it right
Give more love
Give more love
It’s what we know we need more of
From the heart
Let it start
To spread to everyone
Now it’s up to you
There’s something you can do
Give more love
Give more love
Give more love
There’s got to be another way
To get us to a better day
Together we can make a change
