Lyrics
Without Love
We can sing a lullaby to a sleeping baby
Speak gentle words in the language of angels
But without love what does it mean?
It’s a sound but just a scream
It’s a sound but it is empty
A clanging cymbal out of tune
In an endless hallway off a lonely room
Without love what does it mean?
We can gather knowledge as though it were wildflowers
Use it to comfort or use it for power
But without love what does it mean?
It’s a cold and shallow stream
And it always leaves you thirsty
It’s an answer but it’s not the truth
A mighty tree that never bears any fruit
Without love what does it mean?
We can set our sights on a brilliant future up ahead
Plan every move and imagine every single step
But without love what does it mean?
It’s just work without a dream
And it burns on pride on pride and envy
Wheels of ambition on a one way track
Till there’s no looking forward and there’s no going back
Without love what does it mean?
