Al Green & Arthur Baker - The Message is Love

Listen

All around the world there are people crying
Can’t find something to believe
They put so much faith in people who are lying
They’re so easy to deceive

It ain’t no mystery
You know the words to set you free
There for all the world to see

When you got it on your side
There’s no reason left to hide
You’ve got to give it to receive

The message is love

Chorus:
Love is the message and the message is love
From the streets to the mountains to the heavens above
Tell everybody what you’re dreaming of
Love is the message and the message is love

Deep in every heart there is an answer
What will it take to make it real?
Even a soul behind a wall of confusion
Still can tell you what you feel

Why must it be the sight of something burning in the night
To make us hunger for the day
It ain’t no mystery, just love enough to let it be
Everybody knows the way

The message is love

Chorus (2x)

Can’t you hear the sound?
Must be the earth spinning ‘round
We’re gonna find out
Just what the world is all about

The message is

Chorus (4x)

Interlude

Chorus

The Message Is Love, oh... yah...
I think I gonna tell everybody.. oh... yah.. love
Message is love
Message is love
All around the world

People are crying people are dying
Tell them everywhere you go
That love is the message and the message is love

Love is the message and the message is love
From the streets to the mountains to the heavens above
Tell everybody what you're dreaming of
That love is the message and the message is L-O-V-E
