Lyrics Amy Grant – What About The Love
Text:
I went to see my sister
She was staying with a friend
Who had turned into a preacher
To save the world from sin
Then learn to submit
Pray to be made worthy,
And tithe your ten percent»
I said «Is this all there is,
Just the letter of the law?»
Something’s wrong.
I went to see my brother
On the 32nd floor
Of a building down on Wall Street
You could hear the future’s roar
He said «Here we make decisions,
And we trade commodities;
If you tell me where there’s famine,
I can make you guarantees»
I said «Is this all there is,
Power to be strong?»
Something’s wrong.
Chorus:
Something’s wrong in heaven tonight
You can almost hear them cry
Angels to the left and the right
Saying «What about the love
What about the love
What about the love?»
I went to see my neighbor
For the weak and the discarded
Who have no place to go
He said «Here I lack for nothing
I am fed and I am clothed,
But at times I miss the freedom
I used to know»
I said «Is this all there is
When your usefulness is gone?»
Something’s wrong.
Chorus
I looked into the mirror
Proud as I could be
And I saw my pointing finger
Pointing back at me
Saying «Who named you accuser
Who gave you the scales»
I hung my head in sorrow
I could almost feel the nails
I said «This is how it is
To be crucified and judged
Without love.»
Chorus 2x
