Only Love

J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement!

Co-written and performed by Jordan Smith, winner of "The Voice" season nine, this ballad touches the heart with a beautiful melody and a universal message that only through love can we come together to solve the difficult problems the world faces today. It begins with a lengthy soprano feature, and the choral writing features many different textures, powerful forte chords and subdued unisons to help communicate a wide range of emotions throughout the song.

How much more are we gonna take?
How many nights do we have to lie awake?
How many tears are we gonna cry?
We can wish until the well runs dry
But what happens when the sky above runs out of every single shooting star?
And what if every good intention's only meant to go so far?

Only love, only love can save us now
Keep the world from burning down, down, down
To the ground, ground, ground
Only love can look inside a human heart
And see us for who we are
And who we are would be enough

How many lessons have we really learned?
How many bridges could we cross instead of burn?
Why do we find it hard to forgive?
Are we so blinded that it's easy to forget

Only love, only love can save us now
Keep the world from burning down, down, down
To the ground, ground, ground
Only love can look inside a human heart
And see us for who we are
And who we are would be enough

If only there was only love
Only love, only love
Only love, only love
Only love, only love

So what happens when the sky above runs out of every single shooting star
And what if every good intention's only meant to go so far
How many tears
How many nights
How much more are we gonna take
Until the well runs dry

Only love, only love can save us now
Keep the world from burning down, down, down
To the ground, ground, ground
Only love can look inside a human heart
And see just who we are
And who we are would be enough
If only there was only love
Only love
