i asked a man with wisdom the way that i should go
i just need some direction sir, i’ve wandered from the road
do you think that you could help me? do you think that there’s still hope?
tell me all i need to know, tell me all i need to know
and he said

Love is the compass
it’ll show you what is right what is wrong, it’ll turn the light on
Love is the compass it will lead you Home, it will lead you Home

i have been a stranger in a far off land
wishing i could find a way to get back Home again
i’ve been turned around so many times i don’t know where i am
maybe all i need to know is…

Love is the compass
it’ll show you what is right what is wrong, it’ll turn the light on
Love is the compass it will lead you Home, it will lead you Home

Love, Love, only Love will lead you Home
Love, Love, only Love will lead you Home
Love, Love only Love

Love is the compass
it’ll show you what is right what is wrong, it’ll turn the lights on
Love is the compass it will lead you Home, it will lead you Home
