Story Behind the Song
The song was written remebering times past without love, and how empty it can seem. It was written in 2001, and after the birth of my daughter, Nour. My wife Rola, daughter Nour, and eagerly awaited son Solomon, have taught me that life is empty without real love. If there is one thing that we can do for each other, it is that we can recognise and affirm our shared humanity. During my teenage years in the U.K. Prime Minister Thatcher said;'There is no such thing as society, only individuals'. Well maybe in her world, but then she is a twisted individual. 'Let love lift you higher..'
Lyrics
When I'm troubled and I'm weary,
And I can't see my way thru,
I hear a voice, and it speaks to me,
Telling me dreams can come true,
It says...
A thing that doesn't kill you,
Can only make you strong, so strong,
So let love lift you higher,
It will chase away your fears,
For love is the reason,
That this whole world is here,
So when you see someone who needs a hand,
Someone whose down and blue,
Well you can be a voice that speaks to them,
Telling their dreams can come true
Just say...
A thing that doesn't kill you,
Can only make you strong, so strong,
So let love lift you higher,
It will chase away your fears,
For love is the reason,
That this whole world is here,
Yes love is the reason,
That this whole world is here.
