lyrics

If it takes all night
If it takes all day
I’ll reach out my hand
For you to lead the way

For you’re reeling in the wheels
And the streets of smoke
When poverty prevails
Grinds your dreams to the stones

Won’t you teach me about love?

You who wear the holes in your clothes
Know about beauty
You who feel the pangs of hunger
Know about plenty
You who cherish the rhythm of the generations
Know a family

Won’t you teach me about love?

I have everything I want
But is it everything I need?
Is it everything I need?

If it takes all night
If it takes all day
I’ll reach out my hand
For you to lead the way

The cries like a whisper
Whipping through the night
Disappearing in the veil of
Artificial light

Won’t you teach me about love?
