Long ago in the book of old,
Before the chapter
    where dreams unfold
A battle raged
    on the open page,
Love was a winner there
    overcoming hate
Like a little girl
    who couldn't wait.

Love and only love
    will endure
Hate is everything
    you think it is
Love and only love
    will break it down
Love and only love,
    will break it down
Break it down, break it down.

Tomorrow is a long long time
    if you're a memory
Trying to find peace of mind
Spirit come back to me,
Give me strength and set me free
Let me hear the magic in my heart.

Love and only love
    will endure
Hate is everything
    you think it is
Love and only love
    will break it down
Love and only love,
    will break it down
Break it down, break it down.

Long ago in the book of old,
Before the chapter
    where dreams unfold
A battle raged
    on the open page,
Love was a winner there
    overcoming hate
Like a little girl
    who couldn't wait.

Love and only love
    will endure
Hate is everything
    you think it is
Love and only love
    will break it down
Love and only love.
