B: if Love was all alone

If love were all alone
In spirit and in truth

Hate and anguish banished
If old and young were
proof

If the world could see bright colours

Soft-spoken words were read
If love was all alone

What comfort for the dead.

If love was
all alone
And prospered in this land
The hand that
heals all sorrows
Like the winds of time has fled


Dim eyes can only wonder
Of a promise yet to come

When the cold embers of this life
Are blest by
radiant sun

If love was all alone
