From the recording Late for May
A pop-leaning plea that asks what we’d fix if we could - and what still wouldn’t be enough

Lyrics
If I can summon rain
And make it fall down from the sky
If I could summon wealth and riches
To give you all the things
That money can buy
If I could heal the sick
If I could stop the wars
If I could perform these tricks
And so much more
Would that be enough to quench the greed
To satisfy
The special need
For a thing called love
Been wondering ’bout a thing called love
Before we walk away
And turn our backs
And say goodbye
Hope and love
Hope
Hope and love
If I could stop the noise
If I could stop the hate
Yes if I only knew
Just why I hesitate
How can I share all this and more
As I sit silent and ignore
All the things that I’ve become
All the changes we’ve undergone
Buried in a thing called love
Always seems to come back to love
Before we walk away and turn our backs
And say goodbye
Hope
Hope and love
Hope
Hope and love
There’s a thing called love
Always seems to come back to love
Before we walk away and turn our backs
And say goodbye
Hope and love
Gimme some hope
Hope and love and love
Just a little bit
If we could stop the noise
If we could stop the hate
Yes if I only knew just why we hesitate
