I Know Love Is All I Need
Embracing Life's Essence: Love as the Guiding Light
Lyrics
So I'm an orphan, now, out here on my own
Expressing a sense of being alone and independent after becoming an orphan.
And it's hard to know where I belong
Reflecting on the difficulty of finding one's place or identity.
It comes as no surprise, it happens to us all
Acknowledging that life's challenges, like being an orphan, are a common experience for everyone.
Just like the sun will rise, night will fall
Comparing life's inevitabilities to the certainty of the sun rising and night falling.
I know love is all I need
Emphasizing a belief that love is the essential and sufficient element in life.
I know love is all I need
-I know love is all I need
-That's all I know
-An image I recall, a picture on the wall
Recalling an image of the speaker's mother on her wedding day and the loss of certain things over time.
Of my mother on her wedding day
-A young and na' nothing up her sleeve
-But the things that just got lost along the way
-And I know love is all I need
Reiterating the importance of love as the speaker's fundamental understanding of life.
I know love is all I need
-I know love is all I need
-That's all I know
-And there's a voice I hear, it comes in loud and clear
Describing the influence of the father's voice, emphasizing the values of truth and standing firm in one's convictions.
It's my father's voice teaching me
-He says, "To be a man you've got to be true to your word
-And when you make a stand you'll be heard"
-And I know love is all I need
Reaffirming the belief that love is the ultimate necessity in life.
I know love is all I need
-I know love is all I need
-That's all I know
-I can see it in my children, I can feel it with my wife
Recognizing the significance of love in the speaker's relationships with children, wife, and friends.
And I know it with these friends I have
-So important to my life
-I had a dream last night, I saw my mom and dad
Sharing a dream about the speaker's happy parents in a new house, juxtaposed with the reality of their absence upon waking.
They were happy now and I was glad
-They had a brand new house that they'd just moved in
-And when I awoke they were gone again
-But I know love is all I need
Stressing the conviction that love is the sole requirement for a fulfilling life.
I know love is all I need
-I know love is all I need
-That's all I know
-But I know love is all I need
Repeating the assertion that love is the ultimate necessity in life.
I know love is all I need
-I know love is all I need
-That's all I know
-But I know love is all I need
Final repetition and affirmation of the belief that love is all the speaker knows and needs.
I know love is all I need
-I know love is all I need
-That's all I know
