Lyrics
Well, I see hands and I taste faint faces
Reaching out but not quite touching the promised land
Well, I taste tears and a whole lot of precious years wasted
Saying, "Lord, please give us a helping hand"
Lord, there's got to be some changes
Gonna be a whole lot of rearranging
You better hope love is the answer
Yeah, it better come before the summer
Well, everybody can hear the sound of freedom's beating heart
Sirens clashing with earth and rock and stone
The battle of love theme like this gonna be the last line
And tell the child to bury daddy's old clothes
Yeah, they're talking about getting together, yeah
To gather up for love, for love
You better hope love is the answer, baby
And I think you better hope it comes before the summer
Everybody
Everybody
Every sister
Everybody
Every lover
Everybody
To feel the light
Everybody
And it's shining bright, baby
Everybody
Everybody
We got to live together
Everybody
Right on, baby
Feel those earth blues coming at you, baby
Don't let your imagination take you by surprise
A queen in every yard when they visualize
My head in the clouds, my feet on the pavement
Don't get too stoned, please remember you're a man
Lord, there's got to be some changes
Living together's gonna be a minor rearranging, baby
You better be ready, Lord, Lord, Lord
This whole love comes before the summer
Everybody
Everybody
Gotta feel the light
Everybody
You gotta feel the light, baby
Everybody
Everybody
We got to live together
Everybody
Keep it together
Everybody
Right on together
Everybody
Woo, yeah
Gonna stand together for the earth blues coming at you, baby
Ooh, love, love, love
Come on, come on
Right on, right on
Feel those earth blues coming at you
Gotta be right on together
Hey, yeah, yeah
