What The World Needs Now Is Love
From the Movie "Forrest Gump"
Performed by Jackie DeSannon

*What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, but for everyone

Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enought to cross
Enough to last till the end of time

(Repeat *)

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheatfields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen lord, if you wanna know

(Repeat
