"Love Is Love" lyrics

Artists for Peace and Justice & Jackson Browne Lyrics

"Love Is Love"

Here on the distant sunny shore of an island
All the troubles of the world seem far away
But here, on the broken city streets of the island
People work and live and love and struggle every day

Here on the Creole speaking side of the island
They say "Ou fe twop ti moun deja pa fe pitit anko"
Or in the truthful way they have of speaking on the island
"You have too many kids already, don't make any more"

But love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou
Love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou

Menaj mwe is the finest girl who ever walked this island
Even when - especially when - she's walking away
Something in her smile let's me believe in tomorrow
Even though life is next to impossible today
Maybe we won't be in each other's eyes forever
Maybe all we can do is hold each other, and say

Love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou
Love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou

Rick rides a motorbike through the worst slums of the city
The father and the doctor to the poorest of the poor
Raising up the future from the rubble of the past
Here they say - L'espua fe viv - Hope makes life

Love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou
Love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou
Love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou

Here on this island, island of hope
Here we are home, lanmou se lanmou
