about

"For Love to Grow" is a call to humanity to take a look within their hearts and see whether love is growing or not. Like a tree, branches and leaves will often die, depleting energy from the living parts of the plant. The only way for the tree to get stronger, is by shedding it's dead parts to make space for new growth. In the same way negativity and hate take away the life giving energy of love, peace and happiness. The song is a call, to "cut out the negativity, make space in your soul, for love to grow".

lyrics

Verse 1:
Cut the dead branch from the tree
Make room for new growth and you will see
To liberate your mind it's understood
That you wont stop growing if the roots are good
That you will grow stronger if the roots are good

Chorus:
Cut the dead branch from the tree
Make room for new growth and you'll see
Cut out the negativity, oh, oh, oh
Make space in your soul!
For love to grow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
For love to grow

Verse 2:
And I know we're gonna be fine, ooh sweet honey child
Yeah we spent time in the wild, learning bout love and life
Some days were so bright, some days were so dark
But we followed the light to each others hearts
Yes we followed the light to each others hearts

Chorus (repeat)

Bridge:
Lust, greed and hate you got to grow up
If you're acting like a child you got to grow up
If you follow the corrupt you got to grow up
People let your love grow
Lie, cheat and steal you got to grow up
If you're acting like an animal you got to grow up
If you can't grow up you got a half empty cup
People let your love grow

Chorus (repeat)
