Lyrics
What the world needs now is love, sweet love

Highlights the scarcity of love, emphasizing its importance.

No, not just for some but for everyone
Advocates for universal love, not limited to specific individuals.
Lord, we don't need another mountain
Discourages the need for more challenges or obstacles.
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
Points out the abundance of difficulties already present in the world.
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross

Lord, we don't need another meadow

There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
Points out the abundance of natural resources, suggesting contentment.
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine

Oh, listen, Lord, if you want to know
Encourages seeking divine guidance to understand the world's needs.
