We Gotta Love

So what is love, and how do you define it
Some say it's hard to find you gotta mine it like a diamond
To some, love is lust, to some love is trust
To some it's only there when someone's touching us
If this is your conception, then love ain't really much
You'll keep on falling down when you use it as a crutch
So people listen up, cuz love is more than us
Love is at its purest when it comes from up above
I'm all for spreading love instead of shedding blood
And when i don't get enough krsna sends it in a flood
Tryna keep my head above this ocean of suffering
Cuz temporary happiness just isn't enough for me
It's tough to be an optimist when feeling upset
But love to me is obvious, I don't deal with regret
Dig deep within your hearts to find that loving spark
And switch up your emotions when perceptions getting dark

We gotta love each other, but first we gotta love ourselves
We gotta love our brothers, we gotta love our health
We gotta spread love to get love and let love uplift us
And then we gotta take that love and send it back to Krishna
We gotta love each other, but first we gotta love ourselves
We gotta love our brothers, we gotta love our health
We gotta spread love to get love and let love up lift us
And then we gotta take that love and send it back to Krishna

It's rooted in our being so we're searching for bliss
But keep looking in the places where it doesn't exist
Concocting all these formulas, the points being missed
Not acknowledging but polishing the cuffs on our wrists
So tell me what you want, and I'll tell you how to get it
The knowledge absolute, passed to you by the ascetics
We gotta keep our discipline and open our minds
To tarnish all this ignorance that's keeping us blind
So check it out brothers, it's time for heal each other
It's time for us to feel the love, it's time for us to reach another
Platform... then pass on what we transform
Can't storm through the dark without the lamp on
The sandstorm withers in the presence of love
So you can't come hit us with that negative stuff
Cause we're surfing through the time on search for the divine
And the cure for all the slime is the purity of mind

We gotta love each other, but first we gotta love ourselves
We gotta love our brothers, we gotta love our health
We gotta spread love to get love and let love uplift us
And then we gotta take that love and send it back to Krishna
We gotta love each other, but first we gotta love ourselves
We gotta love our brothers, we gotta love our health
We gotta spread love to get love and let love up lift us
And then we gotta take that love and send it back to Krishna
