Lyrics
Intro
Ooh, only love knows, ooh, only love knows
Ooh, only love knows, ooh, only love knows
Verse 1
Let’s go off-grid somewhere we have never been
Let’s go to rebel somewhere we’ll never go again
Harmonies Reunite
Let’s do forbidden something, let’s step off this tracked road
And go to freedom somewhere only love knows
Chorus
And go to freedom
—where the heart’s still owed!
Harmonies Reunite
And go to freedom somewhere only love knows
You’ll be a fugitive someone you have never been
I’ll be a shadow someone you’ll never see again
Harmonies Reunite
Let’s do defiant something, let’s step off this wired road
And go to sanctuary somewhere only love knows
And find a flame
where hearts still explode!
And go to sanctuary somewhere only love knows
Maybe we don’t always have to be
What the system’s iron gears decree
Maybe we can find a hidden place
Where the chains don’t bind you and me
To just be rebels, you and me
Through the smog and steel, we ran, two sparks in the dark,
Past the drones’ red eyes, where the coal hearts spark.
Love’s the code we cracked, the signal we stole,
A hymn for the outcasts, carved deep in our soul.
Chorus
Boys’ Choir, 3-Part Harmony, Catchy, Uplifting, Stomps and Claps
Let’s do subversive something, let’s step off this drone road
And chase a spark—
where freedom’s still owed!
And go to uprising somewhere only love knows
