[Verse 1]
Your heart is so heavy you don't know where to turn
And there's a fire in your mind there, forever seems to burn
But one morning you'll wake up, feeling alive and free
Singing "Oh happy days, peace be still, let it be"
And that means
[Chorus]
Love is taking over
Love is taking over
Love is taking over and hate don't live here no more
Love is taking over
Love is taking over
Love is taking over and hate don't live here no more
[Verse 2]
We try to get around it, but still we see
Little black and white children, Lord
Taking it on the knee
You see they call it reflection
When you see yourself
In the mirror of [?] somebody else
And I know that
[Chorus]
Love is taking over, yeah
Love is taking over, 'cause I feel it!
Love is taking over and hate don't live here no more
Love is taking over, yeah, yeah
Love is taking over
Love is taking over and hate don't live here no more
[Verse 3]
Giant steps are being taken
To bring about peace today
Little children are being trapped
And I see a change in man
And I know that
[Chorus]
Love is taking over, yeah
Love is taking over
Love is taking over and hate don't live here no more
[Verse 4]
Now you close your eyes so you can see
Said it scared ya half to death now don't it, what you used to be
But if feels good to wake, knowing you got a friend
Saying everything you lived for, thank God, Amen
And I know that
[Chorus]
Love is taking over, oh yeah
Love is taking over
Love is taking over and hate don't live here no more
No, no, no!
Love is taking over
Love is taking over, now I can feel it with [?]!
Love is taking over and hate don't live here no more
No, no, no!
[Outro]
Love is taking over, yeah, yes it's taking over, yeah!
Love is taking over, my, my my it's taking over me
Love is taking over (Whoa I feel it) and hate don't live here no more
