[Verse 1]
If you believe
Won't you please raise your hands?
Let's hear your voices
Let us know where you stand
Don't shout from the shadows
'Cause it won't mean a damn
Now more than ever
[Chorus]
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can't stand alone
Now more than ever
[Verse 2]
If I was to buy you
A diamond ring
Make you my princess
Would it mean anything?
Would you take me for granted
And just curse my name
Now more than ever
Yeah
[Chorus]
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can't stand alone
Now more than ever
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Who am I to say
What needs to be done?
I'm just nobody
Another lost one
Caught between what's left
And what needs to be done
Now more than ever
[Bridge]
The loss of love
Now more than ever
The loss of our dreams
Now more than ever
It's not too late
[Chorus]
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can't stand alone
Now more than ever
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can't stand alone
Now more than ever
If you believe
Won't you please raise your hands?
Let's hear your voices
Let us know where you stand
Don't shout from the shadows
'Cause it won't mean a damn
Now more than ever
[Chorus]
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can't stand alone
Now more than ever
[Verse 2]
If I was to buy you
A diamond ring
Make you my princess
Would it mean anything?
Would you take me for granted
And just curse my name
Now more than ever
Yeah
[Chorus]
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can't stand alone
Now more than ever

Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can't stand alone
Now more than ever
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can't stand alone
Now more than ever
