Sting & The Police Week - "Send Your Love"


This song is from Sting's 2003 album, Sacred Love.  It has a great beat, and it's about the power of love and a spiritual oneness in the universe.  There's a lyrical theme - "There's no religion but..." - that religion is not about a system of rules that you must follow, but something that's all around us.

"There's no religion but sex and music
There's no religion but sound and dancing
There's no religion but line and color
There's no religion but sacred trance

There's no religion but the endless ocean
There's no religion but the moon and stars
There's no religion but time and motion
There's no religion, just tribal scars

There's no religion but the joys of rhythm
There's no religion but the rites of Spring
There's no religion in the path of hate
No prayer but the one I sing

There's no religion but sex and music
There's no religion that's right or winning
There's no religion in the path of hatred
Ain't no prayer but the one I'm singing"
