Lyrics

LTPH

You watch TV and all you see
is pain and misery
You look for hope and find despair
Like poison on the air
Can't look away
It gets so hard to imagine better days
But it seems to me...

  That a little bit of love, a little bit of tenderness
  Can bring peace, peace, peace and happiness.
  A little bit of love, and a little bit of tenderness
  Can bring peace, peace, peace and happiness.

A joyous thing, exchanging rings
As friends and family beam
A ray of hope, the power of love
The world we're dreamin' ove
And in that dream, every one of us can rise above
and learn to see

  That a little bit of love, a little bit of tenderness
  Can bring peace, peace, peace and happiness.
  A little bit of love, and a little bit of tenderness
  Can bring peace, peace, peace and happiness.

Sometimes it seems as though we're hypnotized
The spell's so hard to break
But it don't tkae too much to realize
The world is ours to make, yeah

  A little bit of love, a little bit of tenderness
  Can bring peace, peace, peace and happiness.
  A little bit of love, and a little bit of tenderness
  Can bring peace, peace, peace and happiness.
  Just a little bit of love, and a little bit of tenderness
  Can bring peace, peace, peace and happiness.
  I'm sayin' love, and a little bit of tenderness
  Can bring peace, peace, peace and happiness.

Parable, Paragraph of bull
How not to live your life
Goofus and Gallant, the meek and the wise
The just man always tries
  living by the mighty word
  he studies all that he has heard
  he's caring for his wayward flock
  he holds back strong emotion block my
  hunger for the taste of sin
  see that trouble, wade right in
  all those things she bade don't try
  set me up and let me fly
  
There once was a man from Nantucket
or maybe it was Galilee
Makes little difference to me,
Makes little difference to me.

  Ain't no choice but see it as it is
  and don't wait til your free and out of this
  make some artwork, sing for what it is
  Hug the world and sneak a little kiss, 'cuz
  Living wrong you'll get strung up
  Living right you'll get hung up
  Each path ends at the same hole
  Might as well just let me go
  
Running from the wrong is no way to be right
But that's what they would have
Because it works and takes less time
Than trying to explain the way

  Leave your thinking to us
  Here there be tigers and stuff
  We can help you hide your fears
  and leave relatively painless tears
