Hooray for love
The reigning champion
Prevailing over fear and doubt
The hero of all those forgotten and cast out
For isn’t love the same in every color
Or shape or language of the heart?
The essence of the force that makes us who we are

So why would I fight?
We are all on the same side
I’ll go down defending you
Love stands upright and knows that it will survive
Always wins
Never fails
That’s the side I choose
Hooray for love

Hooray for love
The monument left standing
When all our wars have burned out
A victory won not by beating its foes down
But with love
Hooray for love
