Verse 1
Sound of war from the four corners of the world,
Voice of pain in every land,
Cry of the orphan, the homeless, the dying --
There blows a storm of suffering.--

Verse 1b
Then through the clouds breaks a ray of sunlight,
And through the crowds flows a whisper of hope.
Now everyone is smiling through their tears…

Refrain
The dawn follows the darkest hours,
And hearts unfold like flowers … when Love appears!

Chorus 1
Love is the light!-
Love is the light of the world!
Love is the light!-
Love is the light of the world!

Interlude: ------

Verse 2a
Broken hearts can beat anew with joy,
And broken dreams be rebuilt with hope.
Wounds can mend, the weak be strong again.
The light of love can heal us all!

Verse 2b
So light a lamp in your heart for all to see.
Hold up your light, it will shine beautifully
And chase away the shades of hate and fear.
