Story Behind The Song
I was moved to write this when I kept getting the feeling that I needed to laugh and be happy. Sad songs are great and easy to write when you feel it, but happy songs make you want to get up and dance and remember the music and lyrics for years after. I also want to help shift the conscious of the planet through people, one song at a time.

Lyrics
Only Love is Real (r)
Words and Music by Martin Jordan and PureHeart
Running down the mountainside
Sliding on the slippy grass.
Running with the wind and rain
Trying not to let it pass.
Then again when life is good
I carry on the way I should
And think of you in all I do
And say a prayer for me and you.
Chorus
Only love is real, that's the way I feel
Only love is real, that's just how I feel
That's the way I feel.
When you leave at last from here
And find you way above the sound
Of war and death and judgment
And drop you meat-suit on the ground
Come fly with me to a higher place
Where freedom calls for every race
And know there's more to what you see
Than just the usual mediocrity.
Chorus
I am here for just a while
Making sure I always smile
I want to teach the world to know
How to heal and how to grow
I will walk the lines of time.
Teaching in my countless rhymes
I'll teach compassion from the start
And keep a song, in my Pure Heart.
Chorus X 2
