Last night I had a dream
Woke up in a cold sweat
Was that thunder that I heard
Or bombs dropping from a jet?
Out the window, I saw smoke
Flowin' down the street
All that's left was graffiti
Buildings warped from the heat
Was this just a nightmare
Or maybe a warning sign? (Maybe a warning sign)
Let love reign
Let love reign down
Let love rise
From the underground
Oh, let love reign
On your enemy
Let love reign down
Over you and me
In my time, we've seen heroes
Shot down before our eyes
In my time, I've lost loved ones
Never got to say goodbye
In my time, we've bowed our heads
In sorrow of mankind
Raisin' hope that tomorrow
There may be peace of mind
As world leaders take us
On a guided tour of Hell (On a guided tour of Hell)
Let love reign
Let love reign down
Let love shine
On the dark side of town
Oh, let love reign
On a refugee
Let love reign down
Over you and me
♪
There's a rose that will not wither
There's a bough that will not break
Is what you hold most precious
At the bottom of the lake?
There's an angel of darkness
And an angel of light
We got one on the left
We've got one on the right
By the light of burning crosses
In this beautiful, broken world
Let love reign
Let love reign down
Let love rise
From the underground
Oh, let love reign
Like John Lennon said
Let love reign down
For the tears that we shed
Oh, let love reign
On your enemy
Let love reign down
Over you and me
