By the year 2,020
I want to look at what we did
So we can stand up all together
Cause we put an end to it
And there'll be no more pointless fighting
No more money running it
Bring back love
Bring back love
Bring back love again
I was standing in a Chapel
It's not something I normally did
But I was broken, a mess
And I had nothing to get
A man put money in my pocket
I just stared straight up and looked at him
He said "Go take it son
You could do much more with it."
And we all could learn from him
Yeah I will never forget what he said

Now I was walking down my sidewalk
I just paid my final debt
I see a woman and her son
Yeah they had no place to live
The boy was turning out his pockets
I heard him wish he had a bed
I said "I have some room you could use to get back in."
She said "I'm not sure if I can pay you for this"
That's fine, I'm hoping...

I hope I'm standing here,
With my head held high;
My arms up in the air...
