Impossible question - but possibly one of these:-
The eponymous "All you need is Love"
"Time is short and the days are sweet" From Dylan's Dark Eyes
"What makes you go abroad, fighting with strangers?" from Our Captain Cried All Hands.
"Amoebas are very small" Mike Heron - A Very Cellular Song
"There is a crack in everything, that's where the light gets in" might just win by a nose (Anthem - Leonard Cohen)
But I'll probably change my mind by tomorrow!

It can be trad/roots oriented, etc. or for that matter leaving your heart in San Francisco, if you like.

Mine is:

" I'm going up the country
where the cold wind doesn't blow,
Ain't telling how much further I may go."
