We Just Need Love ( 3:58) Medium Tempo, Folk/Pop/Protest Song. An ode to all that have stood up and fought for change. Efrat was in Boca Raton the day of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and was inspired to write this song during the March for our Lives in 2018, which was organized by students from that high school as a response to the mass shooting. It is a testament to LOVE our fellow man and the desire to make the world better for all of us. Check out Track 6 for a version without drums!
lyrics
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.
