Don't want no statues, no movie stars,
Don't need more saints in luxury cars,
I don't want nobody pointing at me,
Asking for my money, say they set me free,
I only want one word from high above,
I only want one word, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The word is love,
The word is love,
The word is love,
Love, love, love,
The word is...
The word is love,
The word is love,
Love, love, love,
The word is...

Don't need no cat, rich and fat, talking at me about where I'm at,
I don't want no daddy with two strong arms,
I got one already; he done too much harm,
I only want one word from high above,
I only want one word, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The word is love,
The word is love,
The word is love,
Love, love, love,
The word is...
The word is love,
The word is love,
Love, love, love.

Oh, I want salvation,
I want truth to set me free,
Oh babe, I just want one word from high above,
I only want one word, yeah.

The word is love,
The word is love,
The word is love,
Love, love, love,
The word is...
The word is love,
The word is love,
Love, love, love,
Oh.

I want the truth, oh, to set me free,
Oh babe, I just want one word from high above,
I only want one word, hey.

The word is love,
The word is love,
The word is love,
Love, love, love,
The word is love,
The word is love,
The word is love,
Love, love, love,
The word is love,
The word is love,
