Song information
I've got more new songs in the fire, but until they're finished, I've dug up this old nugget from 2020. While the pandemic was raging, and we all had to keep to ourselves, more or less, I busied myself by writing and recording a whopping amount of material, of which, this is one of the tunes. The Beatles said all you need is love, and many other artists have shared that sentiment in one way or another, and some artists challenged it such as Frank Zappa with "Oh No." This asks the question if love actually can save the world. Written as an Elton John style ballad with piano and strings. Hope you like. Scaustrita helped mix and master this song.

Lyrics
As I look out my window and hear the news
Witness things that would give anyone the blues
Need to say again what's going around
No way to tell which way we're bound

While the earth is dry and burning
Some turn their back on others yearning
Kindness, a good heart isn't good enough
Actions need taking to get us through the rough

CHORUS:
Remember each and every friend
With a question at the center of life
Can love save the world
And as events are spinning round
There's really no turning away
Can love save the world

Quick to take offense quick to rage
Barbaric wisdom, habits in a cage
What's the secret to break the mold
So the ways of old thoughts do unfold

But no matter what we do for each other
We never know if it's really the answer
Society is complicated for all to see
And there's no telling which way to be

REPEAT CHORUS:

Beautiful song with deep lyrics.  Your voice is great.  Reminds me of a famous singer from the past but can't place his name.

A very beautiful song with so actual/current lyrics. I think @TrebleFace was thinking of Christopher Cross :-)

Good question! Great song!
The lines: "Quick to take offense quick to rage...barbaric wisdom, habits in a cage" seem more applicable than ever.
Beautifully sung and played Mark.
