Olive Branch

People talk too much
And yet so little's said
We're all so out of touch
It's hard to move ahead
We're all so self-absorbed
We don't know how to be
We need a leaf, a sprig
Or twig from that great living tree

We all need an olive branch
We all need a second chance
In this world of happenstance
We all need an olive branch

Let's make the most of life
Add to it what we can
Do more than just survive
Reach out and take command
Be willing to forgive ourselves
And others too
And love thy neighbor as thyself
God loves us when we do

We all need an olive branch
We all need a second chance
In this world of happenstance
We all need an olive branch

A little help from up above
A little push, a little shove
Heavens knows we need to love
Grab that branch He's handing us

'Cause we all need an olive branch
We all need a second chance
In this world of happenstance
We all need an olive branch

Oh, we all need an olive branch
And we deserve another glance
Another glance of sweet romance
Oh, we all need an olive branch

We all need an olive branch
We deserve a second chance
In this world of happenstance we all need
Oh, we all need an olive branch
An olive branch
