The world's made up of those who do,
And those to whom it's done.
But Peace will come to every soul
When both of these are as one...
Each to give and to receive,
Each to live and to believe...
In love.
Got to get the balance right.
Got to move to end the fight.
Then we'll make it through the night,
Into the glorious light...
Each to give and to receive,
Each to live and to believe...
Each to give and to receive,
Each to live and to believe...
In love.
The world's made up of those who do,
[There are people in the world who do things to other people, sometimes
not good things.]
And those to whom it's done.
[There are the victims of the actions of people who do things to them.]
But Peace will come to every soul
When both of these are as one...
[However, if we realize that we are hurting ourselves when we hurt
others, then we will stop doing harm to each other and treat each other
peacefully. It is like "The Golden Rule"]
Each to give and to receive,
Each to live and to believe...
In love.
[Giving love to others is exactly like receiving it yourself, and this is
a way of living that one can believe in.]
Got to get the balance right.
[We must change the inequalities in the world, which upset things.]
Got to move to end the fight.
[We must move from our current situation in order to stop the fighting
caused by inequalities.]
Then we'll make it through the night,
Into the glorious light...
[Light is the symbol of understanding and happiness, in this case.]
Each to give and to receive,
Each to live and to believe...
Each to give and to receive,
Each to live and to believe...
In love.
