Ballad of Leon Payne (Long Live Love) by Sean Wright
(From LONG LIVE LOVE album)

(Verse)
Singing songs in the cotton fields
Just a kid, struggling for the next meal
Humble folk sing out your songs of love
In the Kingdom of Heaven
You found peace

(Chorus)
Peace above
Long live love

(Verse)
He was blind but he could see
Into the soul of humanity
Humble folk sing out your song of love
In the Kingdom of Heaven
You’ll find peace above

(Chorus)

(Verse)
He said he loved you because you’re you
Walking lost highways seeking truth
Humble folk still sing out your songs of love
In the Kingdom of Heaven
We all find peace above

(Chorus)

Your songs remain like seeds of truth
Touching souls you never knew
Humble folk sing out your songs of love
In the Kingdom of Heaven
We found peace above

(Chorus)

(Middle eight)
So Leon sings now with the angel’s choir
Heavenly voices, reaching out with love

(Verse)
(Verse)
He said he loved you because you’re you
Walking lost highways seeking truth
Humble folk still sing out your songs of love
In the Kingdom of Heaven
We found peace above

Peace above
Long live love
Peace and love
Long Live Love

(Outro)
Holding out the hand of love
Reaching out, touching love
Holding out the hand of love -

Reaching, touching
Healing, holding
Reaching out
