I will stand by you, and we’ll see this through. Everything we do, is for all of you, all of us, everyone When you hold yourself up to the mighty ones, And you don’t back down, our voices all of you, all of us, everyone We just need love, We just need love, We just need lo-o-o-o-o-o-ove. We just need love, We just need love, We just need lo-o-o-o-o-o-ove. And I’ll be there too, When you come back through The red tape you smashed Is the blood of our future of everyone. No we can’t back down, We must keep gaining ground, Cant give in to hate, lest it be too late for all of us, everyone We just need love, We just need love, We just need lo-o-o-o-o-o-ove. We just need love, We just need love, We just need lo-o-o-o-o-o-ove. And then one day, they will crawl in shame, For the pain they caused, for those who once stood here together with us. And they’ll see its true, no we won’t stop till through And they’ll see just how, we all are one, I am you, you are me, and We just need love, We just need love, We just need lo-o-o-o-o-o-ove. We just need love, We just need love, We just need lo-o-o-o-o-o-ove.

Written for the miners yes, the common man And around the world we’ll sing it, when’er we need plan Which side are you o-on, which side are you on. 2x He sang it for the unions, he wrote it for them all Cause Seeger knew that everyone deserved to stand up tall Which side are you o-on, which side are you on. 2x Do you vote for money? Does compassion take a turn? Can you see more than honey? Will you let your country burn? Which side are you o-on, which side are you on. 2x And do you stand for kindness? Or do you build that wall… It’s time to stand together cause if not we’re gonna fall. Which side are you o-on, which side are you on. 2x Did you get out, did you shout? Don’t let this time pass by! It never ends, no dividends, if you don’t let your voice fly! Which side are you o-on, which side are you on.

Let Go 04:03
Hard to hand over preconceived notions, Memories linger, forcing my hand. It’s hard to recover from the sadness. Can’t help to see through dark shadowed glasses Cause everything in sight becomes part of our light And visions can transform in just one ni-ight …. So hard to shadow what my heart says, Climbing a ladder with always one rung to go. But I’ll keep trying no I won’t falter. There’s only one way to reap and sow… Cause everything in sight becomes part of our light And visions can transform in just one ni-ight …. so Let go, let go, of all you know. Let go, let go, let life flow I may continue to do myself in, But I’ll try to stop the path. I must believe that it’s not written. Is that a world I can finally grasp? Cause everything in sight becomes part of our light, And visions can transform in just one ni-ight …. so Let go, let go, of all you know. Let go, let go, let life flow I thought there would be time to make a world of mine But life keeps getting in the way of all I want And everything I hoped for left me with what to show for? All the things I’ve put on hold, tryin to fit a mold… so now I’ll just Let go, let go, of all you know. Let go, let go, let life flow Today tomorrow, maybe next year what will follow what is near Can I make up all I've saved up while in my heart I still have fear… Cause everything in sight becomes part of our light And visions can transform in just one ni-ight …. so Let go, let go, of all you know. Let go, let go, let life flow Let go, let go, of all you know. Let go, let go, let life flow

Fade Away 03:12
It seems to be long since all has been fine. With loved ones in pain there’s nothing one wont try. With sweetness like honey, you’ll grab what you can, And when anger is needed you’ll garner your plan. Oh, does love have a half-life or do we live half loved? In the end is there time, when it’s all behind? Or do we just fade away? Fade away, Fade away, Fade awa-a-a-ay. Fade away, Fade away, Fade awa-a-a-ay. Sunset is here, yet nothings to fear It’s been quite a trip, but is it time to jump ship? And every day, less time is spent in fear and regret, Sometimes you move on. Oh, does love have a half-life or do we live half loved? In the end is there time, when it’s all behind? Or do we just fade away? Fade away, Fade away, Fade awa-a-a-ay. Fade away, Fade away, Fade awa-a-a-ay. But we live on as long as we’re remembered. But we live on in the memories and love. But we live on in the stories as told. So while you can, make them bold!!! Cause love has a half-life and we live half loved. In the end there isn’t time, when it’s all behind. And we just fade away, Fade away. Fade away Fade away, Fade away, Fade awa-a-a-ay. Fade away, Fade away, Fade awa-a-a-ay. Fade away, Fade away, Fade awa-a-a-ay. Fade away, Fade away, Fade awa-a-a-ay.

about

Efrat believes in the power of music to transform, heal, and evoke change. This belief shines through in her powerful performances and poignantly personal songwriting. We Just Need Love (September 2021) is the result of her own transformation as a mother, an artist, and an empathetic soul-searcher looking to connect with the world around her. She walked into the studio in the spring of 2018 to record her latest album but then life stepped in the way. In early June, it was discovered that her son’s life was at stake because of a rare heart disorder. Dealing with this discovery revealed to Efrat the silent suffering that is all around us. She quickly learned that life can get in the way of plans and that we hope there is a “later,” but it may never come. Through this trial, she learned that, “We Just Need Love,” to learn to “Let Go” of expectations, and to embrace what we are given. Most of all, she understood that we need to learn to live boldly with the precious time we have here on Earth and to be true to ourselves. This album will tear at your heart strings and leave you with hope of what we can achieve if we love one another and our planet… and live boldly.
