WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS DESPERATELY IS LOVE
V1
Giving as we would want to receive
Would satisfy all of our needs
No war can withstand the power of love
As it is in the heavens above
CHORUS
What the world needs desperately
What the world needs desperately
What the world needs desperately is love
Sweet love
V2
Not of the fleeting romance kind
That kind of love is known to be blind
Presence, care, courage and sacrifice
The only kind of love that will suffice
CHORUS
What the world needs desperately
What the world needs desperately
What the world needs desperately is love
Sweet love
Love, sweet love
Love, sweet love
Love, sweet love, what the world needs now
V3
‘Cuz how many more innocents must die?
Dying under an umbrella of lies
The only way to beat the tyranny
Is by takin’ the liberty to love freely
CHORUS
What the world needs desperately
What the world needs desperately
What the world needs desperately is love
Sweet love
Love, sweet love
Love, sweet love
Love, sweet love, what the world needs now –
What the world needs now
CHORUS
What the world needs desperately
What the world needs desperately
What the world needs desperately is love…love, sweet love.

Nice! I like the sing-along chorus. It's very similar to the verse, but that doesn't seem to matter. Can't argue with the sentiment of the lyric either.

Very true! The world could desperately use some more love at the moment.
Presence, care, courage and sacrifice
The only kind of love that will suffice
Lovely lines.
I don't know if you can manage it, but in your chorus I'm imagining you singing out on world and desperately. You'd likely have to change the rhythm a bit to make it work though.
What the world, needs desperately
But I enjoyed it as it is already!

@RainyDayMan Let me try singing it that way; it seemed something wasn't quite right. Also, may start the chorus out on an Em for a little variation from the verses.
Thank you for your suggestion!

@RainyDayMan here's version #2; chorus sung the way you suggested. I also changed the chorus chords to differ from the verses.
What do you think? Better? or Not?
Thanks so much, Owen, helping to make my song better!

i think it sound a lot better. has more character:)

I think it would maybe sound better if you swapped things around and started the verse with the minor chord and the chorus on the major chord.🤔0

I do like the new version better- feels smoother to me. But the ultimate judge is of course yourself!
