Lyrics
Sufferin' night and day
Suffering persistently day and night.
People all around me crying
Surrounded by people expressing sorrow and distress.
Enough--what's the use
Feeling overwhelmed, questioning the purpose.
We don't even feel like trying
Lack of motivation or desire to make an effort.
Hatred, doubt, and fear
Negative emotions such as hatred, doubt, and fear.
It's not the way toward the solution
Acknowledging that these emotions are not the solution.
There must be a way
Belief in the existence of a better path or method.
To be free from all illusion
Seeking freedom from false perceptions or beliefs.
Love
Expressing the theme of love.
Oh, love
Reiteration of the importance of love.
All we need is love
Stating that love is all that is required.
History loudly claims
Highlighting the historical pattern of not learning from mistakes.
That we never learn our lesson
Pointing out the tendency to repeat errors.
We kill one another
Addressing violence and blaming it on greed and passion.
We put the blame on greed and passion
Attributing conflict to negative human traits.
Wise men calmly say
Quoting the wisdom of calmly stating everyone can achieve perfection.
Every man shall reach perfection
Emphasizing the importance of mutual assistance for perfection.
If we help each other
Belief that collective effort leads to a positive outcome.
We will reach our destination
Expressing the hope of reaching a goal by supporting each other.
Love
Reiteration of the central theme of love.
Oh, love
Stating the continued importance of love.
All we need is love
Affirming that love is the ultimate necessity.
