What the world needs now
What the world needs now

Too many brothers dying in the streets
We don't need another baby with nothing to eat
We don't need no more fences to divide I and I
We don't need another holocaust for us to survive

What the world needs now is peace and understanding
What the world needs now is a little chat with Jah
What the world needs now is peace and understanding
What the world needs now is a little more love (more love)

We don't need no sadness, we don't need no tears
Walking down the street, all I see is fear
We don't need no crying, we don't need no pain
Pick a your own son who to blame, we live with tension every day

What the world needs now is peace and understanding
What the world needs now is a little chat with Jah
What the world needs now is peace and understanding
What the world needs now is a little more love

Searching for Jah Jah love
Searching for Jah Jah love
Seeking out Jah Jah love
No matter what dem do
No matter what dem say

Searching for Jah Jah love
Searching for Jah Jah love
Seeking out Jah Jah love
No matter what dem do
No matter what dem say

Searching for Jah Jah love
Searching for Jah Jah love
Seeking out Jah Jah love
No matter what dem do
No matter what dem say

What the world needs now
What the world needs now

We've got technology and science too
But in reality we ain't doing what we suppose to do
Church and state, they dictate our rights
But all they do is fuss and fight, fuss and fight

What the world needs now is peace and understanding
What the world needs now is a little chat with Jah
What the world needs now is peace and understanding
What the world needs now is a little more love (more love)
Just a little more..

Searching for Jah Jah love
Just a little more..
Searching for Jah Jah love
Seeking out Jah Jah love
No matter what dem do
No matter what dem say

Searching for Jah Jah love
Just a little more..
Searching for Jah Jah love
Seeking out Jah Jah love
No matter what dem do
No matter what dem say

Searching, searching..
