What More Must Love Do

What more must love do

To make this world a better place
                              To find the hate we must erase
To light the way, a path to know
                              A garden to let goodness grow

What more must love do

To somehow make us understand
                   That with it, peace goes hand in hand
It’s more than what we’ll ever need
                         To render helpless war and greed

It seems yet all but gone  

When compromise has lost its gain
                                      In favor of eternal pain
And chaos strikes a mighty blow
                        And somehow we forgot to know

Because of its armor, because of its strength
          To conquer the darkness and at any length  
Because of its passion to fill every heart  
           And transfer what’s ugly into works of art

It exists  

What more must love do
