Maria Love

Well, it was 1969, the streets were on fire

But only in black and white

And I was only a boy, but I saw them crucify

Oh, what an awful sight

And it looked like a holy war

Is anybody keeping score?

Maria Love

Love is needed, can anybody see it?

Maria Love

Why, we wait and hesitate

Well, some stayed in bed for peace

And some took giant leaps

A foreigner friend played on a rooftop

All the science in the world couldn't save us from ourselves

Oh, Lord, when will it ever stop?

'Cause it looked like a holy war

Oh, and no one was keeping score

Maria Love

Love is needed, can anybody see it?

Maria Love

Why, we wait and hesitate

Maria Love

Flowers can grow through cement

Great oaks and river's bend

Power to the people, it's not pretend

When will the madness end?

Well, it looks like a holy war

Is anybody keeping score?

Maria Love

Love is needed, can anybody see it?

Maria Love

Why, we wait and hesitate

Maria Love

Know what's needed, can anybody see it?

Maria Love

Maria Love, ma, ma, ma, Maria

Maria Love, ma, ma, ma, Maria

Maria Love, ma, ma, ma, Maria

Maria Love, ma, ma, ma, Maria

Maria Love, ma, ma, ma, Maria

Maria Love, ma, ma, ma, Maria
