I've never seen a flower bloom in the dark,
And real love never broke a heart.
While you're livin' in yesterday,
You're watchin' tomorrow just walkin' away.
It's walkin' away.
You can't move forward while you're looking back,
Love ain't gonna answer if you ain't gonna ask.
chorus
So you've been hiding from yourself, oh lying to yourself,
And now it's time to give it hell, you've got to try.
When the chance comes along, you've got to take it.
Whoa, if you want love, you've got to make it.
I never heard a promise that couldn't be broken.
Whoa the loudest words I never heard...went unspoken.
If the love that you get, is equal to the love that you give,
Why not give it up, live it up, let love fill you up,
chorus
You've been hiding from yourself, oh, lying to yourself,
And now it's time to give it hell, you've got to try.
When the chance comes along, you've got to take it.
Whoa, if you want love,
If we want love,
We've got to make it.
Why don't we give it up, live it up, let love fill us up,
chorus
We've been hiding from ourselves, oh, lying to ourselves,
And now it's time we give it hell, we've got to try.
When the chance comes along, we've got to take it.
Whoa, if we want love,
And if the world wants love,
We've got to make it.
We've got to make it
Yes, we've got to make it.
