Living in this crazy world, so caught up in the confusion Nothing is-a making sense for me and you But maybe if we find a way, there is got to be the solution How to make a brighter day? What do we do? We've got to give a little love, have a little hope Let's make this world a little better Try a little more, harder than before Let's do what we can do together Only we can make it better Only if we try Got the words on our minds, got the troubles on our shoulders Sometimes it just seems so much what we go through But maybe if we take the time, time to understand each other We can learn to make it right, what do we do? We've got to give a little love, have a little hope Let's make this world a little better Try a little more, harder than before Let's do what we can do together Only we can make it better Only if we try Only we can make it better Only if we try If everybody took somebody by the hand Then maybe everyone could learn to love and understand We've got to give a little love, have a little hope Let's make this world a little better Try a little more, harder than before Let's do what we can do together We've got to give a little love, have a little hope Let's make this world a little better Try a little more, harder than before Let's do what we can do together Only we can make it better Only if we try Only we can make it better Only if we try Give a little love, give a little love Give a little love, give a little love Give a little love
