They painted the streets in the colour of the day
Cause all love is love all the same
And the neighbourhood was on parade
It was love in a time of hate

But the fearful waited till the still of night
And with tar and with fire and paint
They tried to destroy what was built that day
But you can’t stop love that way

I love you if we’re different
And I love you if we are the same
I love if you love just the way that you are
And I love if you need to change
And to those in government
Who would outlaw what can’t be replaced
You can make up a law
And you can give it a name
But you can’t stop love that way

No you can’t stop love these days.
