There's nothing you can do that can't be done???

Question

In the Beatles song "All You Need is Love" what do the lines "nothing you can..." mean?

I Have been thinking about it for months and can't seem to make sense of it in the context of love.

There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.

Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.

Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game

It’s easy.

There’s nothing you can make that can’t be made.

No one you can save that can’t be saved.

Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time

It’s easy.

All you need is love, all you need is love,

All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.

All you need is love, all you need is love,

All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known.

Nothing you can see that isn’t shown.

Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.

It’s easy.

Maybe something to do with a higher purpose and plan??? I dunno. What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

It's saying that things like doing, singing, playing the game might not be do-able, but the real thing in life that's important is love.

Answer 2

it's pretty much sayin you can do anything.

there's nothing you can do - you can't do anything

can't be done - can't be done

you can't do anything that can be done - you can't do anything

you can't do anything that can't be done - you can do anything (wat's bein said)

Answer 3

That song telling you that; you can do everything if you willing to do as well..that is way it is easy. but, not similar with love.

Answer 4

My understanding is that when two people are in love then anything is possible: love is a very powerful force.

Musicians can write anything, sometimes it's the emotional meaning within the music that you are meant to follow, rather than the literal meaning of every word, but I stand corrected. ~

Answer 5

I actually think it is their way of saying that everything IS possible.  Just my opinion though.
