Love Is the Name of the Game Lyrics

When i was young i heard my old man say
Despite the colors, every human is the same
Treat everybody like your own from the heart
Cause love is the name of the game.
It doesn’t matter like The Rock always says,
If they look different from you anyway
Treat everybody like your own from the heart
Cause love is the name of the game
Putting on the shoes of a slave
Many people have to go through the pain
As they were taken from their homes
Their whisper to the children
Everything is gonna be okay
As they were taken from their homes
Their whisper to the children
Everything is gonna be okay

Chorus
And they said,
Love, love, love
created in the image of the father
I said, love, love, love
No man says he’s greater than the other
You dont have to hate so let me hear you say,
That love is the name of the game x4
As i learned about slavery in school
We came to label every traitor as the fool
How can people think that they can buy the poor
Like they dont have families too
And so i pray for all the wounds to be healed
It is the reason for the hatred that we feel
Lean on the father, creator of the world
And forever we’ll be smiling still
Forgive and let the blessings come through
Forgive so that our dreams may come true
When you love your neighbour as you love yourself
Then the blessing in the song is you
I say when you love your neighbour as you love yourself
Then the blessing in the song is you
Back to Chorus
Now im older and i got things to say,
Despite the colors every human is the same
Treat everybody like your own from the heart
Cause love is the name of the game
I said treat everybody like your own from the heart
Cause love is the name of the game
Back to chorus
