What The World Needs Now Is Love

From the Movie "Forrest Gump"

Performed by Jackie DeSannon



*What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No, not just for some, but for everyone



Lord we don't need another mountain

There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb

There are oceans and rivers enought to cross

Enough to last till the end of time



(Repeat *)



Lord, we don't need another meadow

There are cornfields and wheatfields enough to grow

There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine

Oh listen lord, if you wanna know



(Repeat *)
