Oh when darkness overcomes us
And we cannot find our way
Although we keep on searching
For the light of day
Oh we hear the children crying
And we don't know what to do
Gotta hold on to each other
And love will see us through
Let love rule, let it guide us through the night
That we may stay together and keep our spirits calm
Only fools will shun the morning light
‘Cause love's the only thing that will keep us safe from harm
Oh I cover up my ears, so I cannot hear
The voices of hate, and the voices of fear
And I cover up my eyes, so I cannot see
What's happened to this country, that used to be free
Let love rule, let it guide us through the night
That we may stay together and keep our spirits calm
Only fools will shun the morning light
‘Cause love's the only thing that will keep us safe from harm
Oh you know I love this country, every rock and every tree
The grasslands and the desert, the rivers and the sea
And you know I love the people, wherever they are from
Oh yes I love all the people who call this land their home
Let love rule, let it guide us through the night
That we may stay together and keep our spirits calm
Only fools will shun the morning light
‘Cause love's the only thing that will keep us all from harm
Let love rule
Let love rule
Let love rule
Let love rule
