[Silence]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Deep Sub Bass, Echoed Guitar Swells, Slow Tribal Percussion, Low-Frequency Drone Building From Near-inaudible Rumble]<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\nWhat’s in the mix?
\n(Rock n’ hard place betwixt)
\nNot too thin… not too thick
\n(It’s sure to do the trick)<\/p>\n

A little bit of this
\nA little bit of that
\nStir it all together
\n(And see where we’re at)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\n… somewhere in the mixture
\nSomething changes in the blend
\nA little bit of magic
\n(That you can’t quite comprehend)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat’s the secret ingredient
\n(Can ya give me a hint)
\nWhat is it made of…
\n(Is it made of love?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nCould it be the courage
\nTo prove what we know?
\nCould it be the willingness
\n(To let the new thing grow?)<\/p>\n

Take a little knowledge
\nAdd a little doubt
\nMix it with imagination
\n(And see what comes out)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat’s the secret ingredient
\n(Can ya give me a hint)
\nWhat is it made of…
\n(Is it made of love?)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nHope?
\n(Maybe!)<\/p>\n

Love?
\n(Surely!)<\/p>\n

A little inspiration
\nA little perspiration
\nA little experimentation
\n(That’s a tasty combination!)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nStir it!
\n(Mix it!)<\/p>\n

Try it!
\n(Taste it!)<\/p>\n

With a flavor
\n(You can savor)
\nOh, no! Know…
\n(It just won’t quit)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam, Percussion break]
\n[Playful guitar]
\n[Rolling bass]
\n[Saxophone solo]
\n[Sub-bass synth groove]<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWhat’s the secret ingredient?
\n(Can ya give me a hint)
\nWhat is it made of…
\n(Is it made of love?)<\/p>\n

Love! Lots of love
\n(Not just a pinch)
\nMore than an inch…
\n(Fill till topped…)
\n… above with love<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nWhat’s the secret ingredient?
\n(What makes it go?)
\nWhat is it made of…
\n(How would we know?)<\/p>\n

Add a little kindness
\nAdd a little love
\nAdd a little wonder
\n(And see what you’re made of!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nLove! Lots of love
\n(Not just a sprinkle)
\nTill the eyes twinkle…
\n(Fill to the top…)
\n(Don’t stop!)
\n… fill it above…
\n(… with love!)<\/p>\n
