The Love Within Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lord, give me grace and dancing feet
As I conquer all anxiety
The angel told me not to fear
That the power to was in me
For I have learnt the way to pray
Like a muscle growing taut now
Bind the past into a knot
And let the love consume us
Let the love consume us
Let the love consume us
[Verse 2]
Can you hear the stars now sing
Resounding in D major?
As the god vibration resonates
And pulls us up towards her
Take your shoes off, feel the earth
Beneath your feet respond to touch
And let our laughter now ring forth
As the love consumes us
[Chorus]
The love within is moving upwards
Sweeter than any drug
The melody is taking over
Guide my hand through this hurt
Pull back the veil
Let your eyes meet this world
The love within is moving upwards
So don't you want to get high?
Don't you want to get high?
[Bridge]
Don't you want to get high?
Don't you want to get-
Don't you want to get high?
[Chorus]
The love within is moving upwards
Sweeter than any drug
The melody is taking over
Guide my hand through this hurt
Pull back the veil
Let your eyes meet this world
The love within is moving upwards
So don't you want to get high?
Don't you want to get high?

it’s about embracing feelings of joy and being connected. I think it’s ultimately about trying to explain that feeling of rapture and joy that comes with being in love with the world or universe… How do I describe this transcendent feeling of j...
What was the inspiration for this song?
Keke Okereke told Rolling Stone:
I was reading from [William Blake’s] collection Songs of Innocence. Something struck a chord with me, this idea of being connected to the earth and nature. The idea of sublime connectivity to the world that is around — that’s the idea that stuck with me.
What has the artist said about the video?
Keke Okereke told Rolling Stone:
…the only rule that I had was that I wanted something that reflected the states of joy. I think the video does that. It captures being lost in the moment and that’s the one way I feel like the video is connected to the song.
