Where is Love When it's Gone? Lyrics

This is the life that we get
These are the cards that we've been dealt
Why do we doubt, when we should turn our way

There's only one shot, one chance
It can be done within a glance
Together we go, it's a walk on the wire

I don't want to believe that we're givin' up
On a world that's growing cold
The story's getting old

Where is love when it's gone with the wind
and a saint would turn to sin
Where is love when a kid's gotta run
in a blaze from a gun
Where is love when a man has to say
I see my whole life fade away
Where is love when the hate is too strong
Where is love when it's gone

Is it beyond the sea
Does it hide beneath the willow tree
Waiting for us to get back where we're from

Hope you will forgive us for what we've done
We don't know where to begin
We're too numb to take It in

Where is love when it's gone with the wind
and a saint would turn to sin
Where is love when a kid's gotta run
in a blaze from a gun
Where is love when a friend fades away
On the streets where we used to play
Where is love when the hate is too strong
Where is love when it's gone
