The Road To Jericho Is Lined With Starving People Lyrics
There's a man on the side of the road
Left for dead
People passing by turn their heads
There's a man on the side of the road to Jericho
Needs a friend
Oh, we could all use a little more loving, couldn't we?
So come on love, give your love away with me
Hold nothing back like you've nothing to lose
Love with all you have
Like you don't have a clue what it's costing you
There's a man on his way to a church
Avoids the eyes of a dying soul
Turns his head
There's a child on the side of the road to Jericho
Needs a friend
Oh, we all could do a little more loving
Wouldn't you agree?
So come on love, give your love away with me
Hold nothing back like you've nothing to lose
Love with all you have
Like you don't have a clue what it's costing you
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love
Oh, you give your love away
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love
I'm gonna give away love
(Hold nothing back)
I'm gonna give away love
(Hold nothing back)
I'm gonna give away love
Left for dead
People passing by turn their heads
There's a man on the side of the road to Jericho
Needs a friend
Oh, we could all use a little more loving, couldn't we?
So come on love, give your love away with me
Love with all you have
Like you don't have a clue what it's costing you
Avoids the eyes of a dying soul
Turns his head
There's a child on the side of the road to Jericho
Needs a friend
Oh, we all could do a little more loving
Wouldn't you agree?
So come on love, give your love away with me
Love with all you have
Like you don't have a clue what it's costing you
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love
Oh, you give your love away
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love
I'm gonna give away love
(Hold nothing back)
I'm gonna give away love
(Hold nothing back)
I'm gonna give away love

This song rules can't wait until the new album drops.
wow, how convicting
This song is obviously about "loving your neighbor as yourself". Dan (the lead singer) also said so at one of their concerts. It kind of reminds me of the story of the good samaritan, but I'm not absolutely sure how it was inspired.
because the good samartitan was a story in the bible about how these people passed the man because of their beliefs and the person who actually got him took the man to an inn and thats an example of loving..but technically he wasnt supposed to do that because touching a man about to die or something was considered 'unclean'

the song is an allusion to the parable of the good samaritan only its gay. this is like the only bad song on the album
YEah.. i love this providence but im not that fond of this song. kinda just weird.......i dont know..
but i agree. you guys got it. love your neighbor as your self
Keep in mind, they are a Christian band, they had to have some shit like this. Not that bad, though.
this ones okay... although i do like the line "If loving were easy it wouldn't be love"
Yeah they are a christian band so the meaning makes alot of sense. I love this cd and being a christian myself this whole cd means alot
This song Rocks!
i don't understand why people are calling this song "shit" that's cool if you're not religous, but you don't need to look at it from a religous point of view. look at it as being a good person!
i was never posative if they were a christian band, but i guess this song makes it pretty obvious. i love this song because it reminds me to be a good person, how i should live my life.
