Jordan Smith's 'Only Love' is a song about the power of love to heal and save the world. It reflects on human struggles like sleepless nights, tears, and the difficulty of forgiveness, suggesting that love is the only force that can prevent destruction and see people for who they truly are. The lyrics emphasize that love can look inside a human heart and find enough worth. While the song carries a spiritual tone, it does not explicitly reference Christian theology or Scripture, making it more of a general inspirational message about love's redemptive power.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

How much more are we gonna take

How many nights do we have to lie awake

How many tears are we gonna cry

We can wish until the well runs dry


But what happens when the sky above

Runs out of every single shooting star

And what if every good intention's only meant

To go so far


Only love, only love can save us now

Keep the world from burning down, down, down

To the ground, ground, ground

Only love, can look inside a human heart

And see us for who we are

And who we are would be enough


If only there was only love

Only love Only love Only love


How many lessons have we really learned

How many bridges could we cross instead of burned

Why do we find it hard to forgive

We're so blinded that it's easy to forget


Only love, only love can save us now

Keep the world from burning down, down, down

To the ground, ground, ground

Only love, can look inside a human heart

And see us for who we are

And who we are would be enough


If only there was only love

Only love Only love Only love

Only love Only love Only love

Only love


So what happens when the sky above

Runs out of every single shooting star

And what if every good intention's only meant

To go so far


Only love, only love can save us now

Keep the world from burning down, down, down

To the ground, ground, ground

Only love, can look inside a human heart

And see us for who we are

And who we are would be enough

If only there was only love
