In "There Must Be Love," David Kushner faces a world drowning in fear, bloodshed, and moral confusion, where profit feeds pain and even heroes turn out to be killers. The unease follows into sleep, yet the chorus insists that love still exists beneath the same sun that shines on all this hate. The image of crowning killers with capes captures how easily admiration becomes complicity, and the question of what anyone is dying for hangs unanswered. The song holds onto love as the only antidote to a poison everyone keeps drinking.
There Must Be Love Lyrics by David Kushner
Can’t see the sun in the sky
Blood on the screen
Tears in my eyes
They feed us fear
We can’t expect peace
Don’t know left from right
There’s so much unease
I can feel It in my dreams
There must be love (must be love)
Under the sun (must be love)
Hate poisons us (must be love)
There must be
There must be love
We all want preach. It’s not black-and-white
How much do you need? We’re all going to die
Profit from the pain to grow the crave
Can’t expect peace, don’t know wrong from right
There’s so much unease
I can feel it in my dreams
There must be love (must be love)
Under the sun (must be love)
Hate poisons us (must be love)
There must be
There must be love
Look at all that we hate
We crown killers with capes
Digging up our own grave
Don’t we all bleed the same
We’re dying for change
But what are we dying for
There must be love (must be love)
Under the sun (must be love)
Hate poisons us (must be love)
There must be
There must be love
There must be
There must be love
