Long Live Love (Beethoven’s Pathetique Sonata 2nd Movement)

Lyric © Don Read MCPS/PRS 15/06/02

Rousing!

Long live love
Let all the world be free
In peace let us go forth and
Live our lives in harmony

Each precious day
Can bring rewards untold
As we face every challenge
Wondrous joys will unfold

One golden dawn
Will bring a brand new day
And shining just like a beacon
Love is sure to light up the way

Long live love
So hate and greed can cease
Let neighbour shake hands with neighbour
Until the whole world is at peace

Someday soon
Let all the people know
That no one will ever go hungry
In freedom love can only grow
