[Verse 1]

State of the mind

State of the blind collective

Desperation calls for peace

Desperate times

Freedom denial

Free the child, the captive

Liberation taunts the thief

And paradise

Comes down to the level

Come down

Desperation calls

Desperation calls for

[Chorus]

Love to come and lead us home

Love is gonna mend these bones

Desperation calls for love

Desperation calls for love, love

[Verse 2]

Stray from the hive

And pray to survive the masses

All hail, here comes the queen

The paradigms

Break down if you let 'em

Break down

Desperation calls

Desperation calls for

[Chorus]

Love to come and lead us home

Love is gonna mend these bones

Desperation calls for love

Desperation calls for love

[Bridge]

Ready or not, yeah

Ready or not, yeah

A change is gonna come

It's gonna come

And like it or not, yeah

Like it or not

We gotta break the walls

Oh, oh, oh

(Desperation calls for love)

[Outro]

Oh, love is gonna lead us home

Love is gonna mend these bones

Desperation calls for love

Desperation calls for love

Love to come and lead us home

Love is gonna mend these bones

Desperation calls for love

Desperation calls for love
