[Verse 1]
State of the mind
State of the blind collective
Desperation calls for peace
Desperate times
Freedom denial
Free the child, the captive
Liberation taunts the thief
And paradise
Comes down to the level
Come down
Desperation calls
Desperation calls for

[Chorus]
Love to come and lead us home
Love is gonna mend these bones
Desperation calls for love
Desperation calls for love, love

[Verse 2]
Stray from the hive
And pray to survive the masses
All hail, here comes the queen
The paradigms
Break down if you let 'em
Break down
Desperation calls
Desperation calls for

[Chorus]
Love to come and lead us home
Love is gonna mend these bones
Desperation calls for love
Desperation calls for love

[Bridge]
Ready or not, yeah
Ready or not, yeah
A change is gonna come
It's gonna come
And like it or not, yeah
Like it or not
We gotta break the walls
Oh, oh, oh
(Desperation calls for love)

[Outro]
Oh, love is gonna lead us home
Love is gonna mend these bones
Desperation calls for love
Desperation calls for love
Love to come and lead us home
Love is gonna mend these bones
Desperation calls for love
Desperation calls for love
