Love Will Light The Way was inspired by comments of Barbra Streisand at her Las Vegas Millennium concert. She spoke that night about the need for people to live together in peace and harmony, that there should be an end to war and hunger. After the concert I went back to my hotel room and wrote the lyrics. Debi Lewin recorded the song.

When I was just a child
I heard a wise man say
Put your faith in love
And love will light the way
And what that wise man said
It is just as true today
If we put our faith in love
Then love will light the way
In the dawn of this new era
In the light of this new day
Can we find the strength and purpose
To let love light the way?
Let peace and understanding
Be the goals that we achieve
For the love we give to others
Is the love that we receive
Love is a beacon, shining bright
For all the world to see
If we seek a peace that’s lasting
It will shine on you and me
Let no child know of hunger
Bring an end to hate and war
We can make a world that’s brighter
That will last forever more
The promise of tomorrow
Is the child of today
With a unity of purpose
Let us lift our voice to say
That the time is here for everyone
To build a better day
We can find the peace were seeking
If we let love light the way
