The Love Song

(A little baby pigeon!)

Have you ever wondered why we're here?
What's it all about, you've no idea
And everywhere you look, all you see is hatred
And darkness, death and fear

But you know it doesn't have to be
That I hate you, and you hate me
'Cause even though we're different, it doesn't make a difference
And we can live in harmony

No, you don't know who I am
But maybe I could hold your hand
And together we can understand about love!
(Huh? I feel tingly!)
Yes, that's love, my friend—and it's time for you to learn all about it!

Love is a place, love is a thing
Love is a place, love is a thing
Love is a place, love is a thing
Love is a place, love is a thing

And do you ever feel like life's unfair
'Cause everybody hates you, and no one cares!
But if you follow me, maybe you will see
That love is everywhere!

(What is love; is it in the sky?)
No, it's a feeling deep inside
(Because I'm hungry)
No, you're lonely—I can see it in your eyes

(I don't understand)
Don't worry, you will soon!
Come and meet some of my friends; they know all about love
Come on, just over the rainbow!

Oh look, there he goes, flying through the sky
Maybe we should follow him, or we'll get left behind
Yes, but there's lot of chicken left and I'd like to eat the chicken
I'd also like to eat the chicken, let's do that instead

So here we are with all my friends
And they love you, all of them!
(Yes we do)
(It is true!)
(We love you)
(And you love us too!)
I love you too, furry boy
(He-he, harder!)

Now we've eaten the chicken, I don't know what to do
Maybe we should look for our friend
Isn't that what friends do?
And we have finished the chicken picnic...

To love each other is to care
To be kind (and to share)
(I love my friend so I give him a hug)
(I made this for you 'cause I love you so much)
(I love my pet 'cause he's a crab)
(I love this tree and I love this stick and I love this bug)

No no no, that's not how it's done
You must save your love for your special one
(My special one?)
Everyone has a special one
(Even me? But I am lonely)
Yes, it's true—but do not worry!
You're confused, but that's okay
Let me put it another way

This is the story of Michael, the loneliest boy in town
This is the story of Michael, the ugliest boy in town
Ugly and weak; they called him a freak
So he lived on his own underground
He lived on his own underground
He lived on his own underground
You see, everyone has a special one...
(Even Michael!)

Your heart beats hard like a big love drum
Calling for your special one
(So be patient 'cause just maybe)
(Your special one will come)

He's made for her and she's made for him
That's the way its always been
And it's perfect, and it's pure
And it's protected with a ring

That's the way that all love goes
Like a flower it grows and grows
And it's forever
(And forever!)

And now we all worship our king
Our king, our king
His name is Malcolm (our king)
He is the king of love (our king)
We must feed him
We must feed him gravel
Or he becomes angry
(Mm, gravel)

And this is your chance to start anew
And all we're asking you to do
(Is change your name)
(And clean your brain)
And forget anything about you ever knew
(And your heart will find it's home)
(And our love will never go)

Now wear this ring
(And join the king!)
And you will never be alone!
