lyrics

Only Love Can Do That

Speaking by the monument
He said he’d had a dream
One quarter of a million
Were witnessing the scene
He counted them the instrument
To save his country’s soul
Waiting for a hundred years
Still fighting for their goal

Because the dark can’t drive out darkness
Because hate can’t drive out hatred
Only love can do that

We never can be satisfied
Stripped of our dignity
But bending towards justice
Is the arc of history
Let righteousness run down like rain
Let God’s love enter in
Judge me by my actions
Not the colour of my skin

Because the dark can’t drive out darkness
Because hate can’t drive out hatred
Only love can do that

Burdened by the cost of love
And evil close at hand
He went up to the mountaintop
And saw the promised land
He knew the final victory
Of peace over the sword
His eyes had seen the glory of
The coming of the Lord

Because the dark can’t drive out darkness
Because hate can’t drive out hatred
Only love can do that
