Just Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The church doors are closed
To those who need most
The love that's inside, mm

And the black ties, they fight
'Bout who's wrong or right
While the innocent die, mm

[Pre-Chorus]
An eye for an eye leaves
Everyone blind, we
We can't seem to see the way, oh
'Cause everyone's hurtin'
Tell me, when will we learn it?
And what more can I say?

[Chorus]
But what if we just
Love
Love
Love
What if we just
Love
Love
Am I askin' too much? Oh
Too many havе lost their lives and
Too many tears wе've cried 'cause
We couldn't seem to see the light
But what if we just
Love
Love
Love
[Verse 2]
Now you're all by yourself
And you're cryin' for help
But they don't hear a sound
And your walls know too well
You've been livin' in hell
Tell me what to do now, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, don't you get tired
When you run for your life? Yeah
Oh, you don't need to this time

[Chorus]
What if we just
(Just) Love
(Just) Love
(Just) Love
What if we just
(Just) Love
(Just) Love
(Just) Love, oh
Too many have lost their lives and
Too many tears we've cried 'cause
We couldn't seem to see the light
But what if we just
Love
Love
Love
What if we just
(Just) Love
(Just) Love
(Just) Love
[Outro]
But what if we just love?
We just love

Genius Annotation

Bassett is referring to the homophobia, racism and other bigotry in the Church. He is a member of an evangelical church, having been baptised in 2023, and facing criticism for the Evangelical Church’s beliefs.

Bassett identifies as bisexual and said that he ‘doesn’t endorse’ all the beliefs of the Church. This lyric supports this, with him making a critique in regards to how critiquing how the Church often disregards LGBT+ people and other people who suffer marginalisation are often disregarded by the Church.
