But we can chant for love

Let's cut the idle talk so we can

Chant for love

We always have the time to quarrel

About such problems as money and war

Let's put it off until tomorrow

Who needs another dose of sorrow?

 

It don't necessitate an act of faith

To chant for love

What alibi is strong enough to wait

To chant for love

Though we don't hold the reigns of power

Somebody else seems to be in control

We mustn't waste another hour

We'll get directly to the soul

If we can

 

Chant

For a world united

Chant

For a world that's dying for love

 

The Hare Krishna plays a drum and bell

When he chants for love

The tribal priest is afraid of hell

So he chants for love

I am not pushing some religion

Don't get me wrong,

I never mess with such things

Just be true to your own vision

This is your personal decision

 

The Dervish spins to a "Hu Hu Hu"

When he chants for love

Nobody knows what the angels do

When they chant for love

You're at the bottom of the ladder

Someone may try to tell you where you should start

But the words, they never matter

If you can feel it in your heart

Then you can

 

Why don't you chant?

You can chant

Chant, chant, chant
