Get love out on the dance floor
Reflects off the mirror ball
Sending fragments of life to the poor
Get love out in the nameless streets
Child, you’ll finally eat
Love, love is the protest
Love is the protest
Love is the protest
Let love make saints out of hypocrites
Let grace fall from broken lips
Turn dirty rags into white flags
Let peace crawl out of the mystery
Show how blinding the light can be
Don’t be afraid of what you see
Love is the protest
Love is the protest
Love is the protest
I want peace but it’s not what I’m used to
I want love but it hurts when it gets through
I’m surrounded by people who don’t think like I do
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love is the protest
Love is the protest
Love is the protest
