we need a whole lot of love

dusk arising

 

      some people see this world in shades of blue
 and some people believe, money speaks the truth
     some people asking where there aint no answer
and some people wanna make the world spin a little faster


     some people get to fly in a rocket to the moon
and some people they get fed from a silver spoon
    whole lot of people live in pain and misery
look at the people   (pause)   look at you and me

             oh... we need a whole lot of l - o - v - e, 

                                     a whole lotta love

         some people sittin pretty one side of a fence
    and some people wonder what the hell their life has meant
        some people so angry  just wanna stand and fight
   and some people smile   (pause)   but they know this world aint right

             oh... we need a whole lot of l - o - v - e, 

                                     a whole lotta love

                    Wish I could hear those instruments because the words alone almost have me on my feet.

                      Must be that acid that never left my system or maybe the mushrooms from the other week but this my friend was toe tapping sweet!
