We’ve got to love one another,

and not just 'cause someone tells us to.

You don’t have to walk on water

To look inside and seek the truth.

Oh, can’t we care for one another?

Because this world is hard enough

Without us turning against each other.

All we need is love, love, love.

Take shelter in love.

Take shelter in love.

When the tides of hate

come crashing at the gate,

Take shelter in love.

We’ve got to give to one another

Without this fear there’s not enough.

Looking out for one another

Whether the seas are calm or rough.

Will you hold my hand

When I’m not sure which way is home?

And I will hold your hand

Until you’re ready to let go.

Take shelter in love

Take shelter in love

When the tides of hate

come crashing at the gate

Take shelter in love

When we slip the yoke of inequality,

When a day’s work provides for a day’s needs,

That’s when the livin’ will be easy.

Until then, there’s you and me. . . .

We’ve got to learn to talk with one another,

Speak with voices form the heart.

So that we can bring together

What has so long been apart.

When we feel that we are one—

One blood, one breath, one Earth, one sky—

Then at last we shall overcome,

And on the wings of freedom fly, fly, fly!

Take shelter in love.

Take shelter in love.

When the tides of hate

come crashing at the gate,

Take shelter in love.

Take shelter in love.

Take shelter in love.

When the tides of hate

come crashing at the gate,

Take shelter in love.
