What kind of world you really want for the children, 
is hatred or love you really want to teach them
I don’t care if you white , black or Asian
could be Muslim, Hindu Christian, or a Jew
Only one thing that really define me and you 
Is the love and tolerance in what you say and what you do
We ah bu´n out hatred and injustice
We don’t deal with races neither extremist
All them so better get out meh face
 peace and love we are go nice up the place

 don’t want another financial depression, hell no, hell no
 we don’t want another nuclear weapon, hell no, hell no
tell them haters to get out ah here, hell yeah, hell yeah
peace and love in ah the atmosphere, hell yeah, yeah
I vote love, I vote love, I vote love I vote love.

This verse is for the politicians and leaders
They better know, they better know,
We watching them, we watching them, we watching
Watching what they say, watching what they do, so make shore you walking upright and true.
live in a democratic society,
 leader need vote of you and me
but before you vote and put them in passion of  power, 
make share that  they following the love criteria
opportunity for all, no matter race, creed or gender
make sure the care for the poor and the sufferer

We don’t want another corrupt politician, hell no, hell no
 we don’t want another war monger in the land, hell no, hell no
tell them haters to get out ah here, hell yeah, hell yeah
good governance we demand we declare, hell yeah, hell yeah
I vote love, I vote love, I vote love I vote love.

Generation generation, look the future rising in we hand
Listen sister listen brotherman we have a duty to perform in the land.
Understanding and love is the foundation, if they come with hate then they better run, with the shield of faith, sword of the spirit, kingdom of darkness bond to feel it 
 Youth of me nation, we depending on your vision 
Without your participation we go be doomed for stagnation

With a mission with a vision let the world feel the vibration
Education education, that be the tool for the revolution
It only take one man or one woman
They could really make or break a whole nation
It only take one man or one woman
They could really make or break a whole nation
a whole nation, a whole nation

I vote love, I vote love, I vote love I vote love, I vote love, I vote love, I vote love I vote love I vote love, I vote love, I vote love I vote love I vote love, I vote love, I vote love I vote love I vote love, I vote love, I vote love I vote love I vote love, I vote love, I vote love I vote love
