"Mr. Love" lyrics

We were on the road to happiness
In our midst was Mr. Love, Mr. Hate, and all the rest
We were ready, we were on our way

The sun was shining down on us
We felt such joy we didn't mind that we were walking in the dust
We were ready on that day

We didn't realise
When we ask Mr. Hate to lead us
That he would destroy us day by day
We made a mistake in choosing
We should have asked Mr. Love to lead the way
That day

Mr. Hate seemed happy when we lost the sun
He said I move much better when you're cold and
The darkness comes then he led us all astray

Our hearts grew colder as the night went on
We looked and Mr. Love had left us all alone
At the crossroads he was gone

But we didn't realize
When we ask Mr. Hate to lead us
That he would destroy us day by day
We made a mistake in choosing
We should have asked Mr. Love to lead the way
That day

Oh we were stumbling, searching, falling in the dark
Mr. Love took the light when we parted at the crossroads
Voices crying out in the wilderness
Trying to find the path back to happiness
I heard a little voice in the back of my mind
Saying "Hurry, don't worry
All you gotta do is let your light shine
Leave hate behind and you'll find Mr. Love"
Mr. Love

Now with hate and darkness gone
We're on our way back home with Mr. Love
He came back and saved us, Mr. Love
