We got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this world a little better
Whoa, oh, oh
Oh, oh, whoa
Livin in this crazy world
So caught up in the confusion
Nothin is makin sense
For me and you
Maybe we can find a way
There's got be a solution
How to make a brighter day
What do we do
We got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this world a little better
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together
Oh, whoa, oh
We can really make it better, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la
Only if we try
Got the words on our minds
Got the troubles on our shoulders
Sometimes it seems so much
What we go through
Maybe if we take the time
Time to understand each other
You can learn to make it right
What do we do
We got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this world a little better
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together
Oh, whoa, whoa
We can really make it better, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la
Only if we try
Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la
Give a little
Oh, ah, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la
Only if we try
[If everybody took somebody by the hand]
Come on take him by the hand
[Then maybe everyone could learn to love and understand]
Oh, whoa, oh
We can really make it better, yeah
Oh, whoa, oh, la, la, la
Only if we try, sing it
Oh, whoa, oh, la, la, la
We can really make it better, yeah
Oh, whoa, oh

We got to give a little love, have a little hope

Only if we try
We got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this a little better
We could do it together, together
Give a little love (Give a little love)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Sing a Babylon (Sing a Babylon)
Only if we try
Give a little love, have a little hope
Make this a little better [Make it a better world]
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
