Lyrics of Say Love

Я бачила сон, де світ інший цей
Там люди землі, люблять людей

You say love not war
We say love not war
Hey you lay down your arms
People of the universe

Любов любов любов любов лю, любов
Любов любов любов любов лю, любов
Люди, агов, давай скажем любов
Люди, агов, давай скажем любов
Люди, агов, давай скажем любов

Ген в тім мареві я не бачила горя
Не бачила сліз, не знала про зло
Оооооо оооо
Сонце встає
Оооооо оооо
Болю нема-є
