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.
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor, & Bari Sax

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 (Jordan Smith)
