Love Lights The World

[Verse 1: Peabo Bryson, Céline Dion]
Somewhere in this world
Someone shed a tear
Somebody just like you
Feels the way you do

Somewhere in this world
Someone understands
Another needs a helping hand
Help them if you can

[Pre-Chorus: Peabo Bryson, Céline Dion]
I can touch you where you are
We both share every star
'Cause a common thread runs through

Oh, life means much the same to all
So let's tear down every wall
And build a bridge from me to you

[Chorus: Color Me Badd]
When will we put fear aside? (Fear aside)
Why can't we throw away false pride?
Every heart will glow
When love lights up the world
No need to walk in the dark
We don't have to stand so far apart
Every heart will know
When love lights up the world

[Verse 2: Peabo Bryson, Peabo Bryson & Céline Dion, Color Me Badd]
Mothers everywhere
Babies at their breast
One love is like the rest
(A universal bond)
All around the world
Children laugh and play
Every boy and girl
The future of the world
As time continues on

[Pre-Chorus: Peabo Bryson, Céline Dion, All]
(I can touch you where you are)
We both share every star (Every star)
'Cause a common thread runs through

Oh, life means much the same to all
And the world has grown so strong
There's a bridge from me to you

[Chorus: All, Peabo Bryson]
When will we put fear aside?
Why can't we throw away false pride?
Every heart will glow when
When love lights up the world
No need to walk in the dark
We don't have to stand so far apart
Every heart will know
When love lights up the world
When will we put fear aside?
Why can't we throw away false pride?
Every heart will glow when
When love lights up the world
(Love's gonna light this whole world)
No need to walk in the dark
We don't have to stand so far apart
Every heart will know
When love lights up the world
(When love lights up the world)

[Outro: All]
Love lights the world
Love lights the world
(Let me hear it one more time)
Love lights the world
(And it shines on you)
Love lights the world
Love lights the world
(Love, it lights the world)
(I'm gonna sing it one more time)
Love lights the world
Love lights the world
(Love lights up the world)
(And it shines on you)
Love lights the world
(Oh)

[Outro: Céline Dion, Peabo Bryson, All]
Love lights up the world
Love lights the world
Love lights up the world
Love, love lights up the world
Love lights up the world
