Love Is Just Another Word

Harry Chapin


Time, time, time, it's telling you the story.
Truth, truth, truth, a secret never heard.
Peace, peace, peace, you know i don't believe it.
Love, love, love, it's just another word.

Hey, brother, you are bleeding';
You're black and brown and yellow, you know that isn't right.
Hey, brother, what you're needin',
We will never give you. why can't you be white?

Time, time, time, it's telling you the story.
Truth, truth, truth, a secret never heard.
Peace, peace, peace, you know i don't believe it.
Love, love, love, it's just another word.

Hey, sister, stop your tryin';
Don't you know that you were lost when you were born a girl?
Hey, sister, stop your cryin';
Don't you know you're just another woman of the world?

Time, time, time, it's telling you the story.
Truth, truth, truth, a secret never heard.
Peace, peace, peace, you know i don't believe it.
Love, love, love, it's just another word.

Hey, children, you are starvin';
I'm too fat to find the time for feedin' someone else.
Hey, children, you are dyin';
Don't you know you've got to find the future for yourself?

Time, time, time, it's telling you the story.
Truth, truth, truth, a secret never heard.
Peace, peace, peace, you know i don't believe it.
Love, love, love, it's just another word.
