welcome my friends
to a place that may seem
most disturbing
quite unnerving
lend me your dreams
and we'll add what we need
to be free
terminally
we'll fly to a spot
where I know there is not
any sorrow
no tomorrow
people just laugh
cause they know how it feels
to have loved
and be loved
don't you worry
ain't no need to hurry
all you really need
is love
bah bah bah bah bah
now you may say
tell me more of this place
so inviting
and exciting
here and above
children love without doubt
and can be
they can be
listen my friends
carefully to direction
to get there
and you know where
love is the place
skewed to matter and space
for us all
for us all
don't you worry
ain't no need to hurry
all you really need
is love, love, love
Interpretation
The places that the song is referring to are places in a person's heart, mind, and soul; and love is the only way to move from the bad places to the good places.
