She'll turn her music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She's got Bette Davis eyes

If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart.

Still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart.

Just any time that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you walk in the room.

There can be a brighter day
There can be a new tomorrow
Love will find a way

Love Will Find A Way (1968)
