[English]

You'll be given love

You'll be taken care of

You'll be given love

You have to trust it

Maybe not from the sources

You have poured yours

Maybe not from the directions

You are staring at

Twist your head around

It's all around you

All is full of love

All around you

(All is full of love)

You just ain't receiving (All is full of love)

Your phone is off the hook (All is full of love)

Your doors are all shut (All is full of love)

And be the little angel (All is full of love)

All is full of love (All is full of love)

All is full of love (All is full of love)

All (All is full of love)

All is full of love (All is full of love)

All (All is full of love)

(All is full of love)

(All is full of love)

(All is full of love)

(All is full of love)

...

(All is full of love)

(All is full of love)

...

(All is full of love)

(Full of love)

...
