Jon Batiste

Featuring: Stay Human

[Chorus]
Let love lead (Let God lead)
Let love lead
Let love lead (Let God lead)
Let love lead

[Verse 1]
We begin to succeed when the cares of our lives
Begin and end with the hurt of others
We begin to breathe when the wounds of others
Become relieved with the love of others
He who looks around to find who's in need
Has made the best investment as a human being
You know that, he who looks around to find who's in need
Has made the best investment in his legacy
I say that love will never force
Love will never quit
Love ain't never lose
Love ain't never miss

[Bridge]
Of all things lasted here remains only three
Money can't buy only these will succeed
Faith hope and love, but the greatest of these is love
So here is a formula for a real hard situation
Just let God and let love
Lead the way

[Chorus]
Let love lead (Let God lead)
Let love lead (Let God lead)
Let love lead (Let God lead)
Let love lead (Let God lead)

[Verse 2]
Can love struck? (no way)
Can love destroy? (no way)
Can love belittle? (no way no)
Can love pose? (no way no)
Or be proud? (no way no)
Can love rejoice with a mother's pride
Love stands up when other's won't
Love prevails without want
Love puts up with anything
God is love and love is God

[Bridge]
Of all things lasted here remains only three
Money can't buy only these will succeed
Faith hope and love, but the greatest of these is love
Here is a formula for a real hard situation
Just let God and let love
Lead the way

[Chorus]
(God is love)
Let love lead (Let God lead)
Let love lead (Let God lead)
Let love lead (Let God lead)
Let love lead (Let God lead)
(God is love)
