I'd like to tell you a story
Of what has happened to me
My heart was burdened with sorrow
And my life with misery
But then so quickly it happened
I found a love so true
And now, how else can I thank Him
But to share His love with You

You've got to spread a little love around
Show the world what you have found
Life is full of joy and happiness
When you find the Savior's love
You've got to spread a little love around
Share it with the one who's down
Spread a little love, yes
Spread a little love around

Oh, yes, I've just got to tell you
About this love so true
A love far greater than anything
For He bled and die for you
(He died for you)
Oh, yes, it really happened
The place was Calvary
And now with sin forgiven
You can share His love with me
There's a dawning of a brand new day
And all the clouds are gonna roll away
There'll be peace and every nation's
Gonna get together
Only love is gonna rule and reign
And the sun is gonna shine again
When God's mighty peace
Comes sweeping over the land

Every nation, every kindred
Will go marching hand in hand
And our minds will cease to wonder
For our hearts will understand

Only love is gonna rule and reign
And the sun is gonna shine again
When God's mighty peace
Comes sweeping over the land

Every nation, every kindred
Will go marching hand in hand
And our minds will cease to wonder
For our hearts will understand
Hearts will understand, understand

Well, you got to spread a little love around
(Ooh, spread a little love around)
Show the world what you have found
Life is full of joy and happiness
When you find the Savior's love
You've got to spread a little love around
(Why don't you spread a little love around)
Share it with the one who's down
Spread a little love, yes
Spread a little love around, la, la, la
Spread a little love, yes
Spread a little love around, la, la, la
Spread a little love, yes
Spread a little love around, la, la, la...
