"Right On"

Hey baby

That's alright people

I know that's alright

Every day that's alright

Oh, when we love each other

I know that's alright

Oh feel it, feel it

Oh, everybody feels it

God knows that's alright, yes

Some of us were born

With money to spend

Some of us were born

For races to win

Some of us are aware

That it's good for us to care

Some of us feel the icy wind

Of poverty blowing in the air

For those of us who simply like to socialize

For those of us who tend the sick

Ah, and heed the people's cries

Let me say to you

Right on

Right on, feel it

Yea, oh, oh, Oh Lord, Lord, people

And I say, Right on

Hey, right on

For those of us who live

Where peace is craved

For those of us who live, (uh-huh)

Where hatred is enslaved (alright)

For those of us who live a life

(Yea) surrounded by good fortune and wealth

For those of us who live a life

Hey, hey, hey enjoying ourselves

For those of us who got drowned–

In the sea of happiness

For the soul that takes pride in his God

And himself and everything else

Love

Love

Sweet love

Love

Wonderful love

Ah, true love

Love

Love for your brother

And love, love for God

Love

Oh, love

Oh, true love can conquer hate every time

Give out some love

And you'll find peace sublime

And my darling, one more thing

If you let me, I will take you

To live where love is King

Oh, baby
