"Earth Blues" lyrics
Well, I see hands and tear-stained faces
Reaching up 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, Lord, Lord)
Lord, there's got to be some changes
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Gonna be a whole lot of re-arranges
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
You better hope love is the answer
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Yeah, it better come before the summer
Well, everybody can hear the sound of freedom's beating heart
Sirens flashing with earth and rocking stoning
You better love me like it's gonna be the last time
And tell our child to bury daddy's old clothes
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Yeah, they're talking about getting together, yeah
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Together for love love love
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
You better hope love is the answer, baby
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
I think you better hope it comes before the summer
(Everybody)
Everybody
(Everybody)
Every sister
(Everybody)
Every mother
(Everybody)
To feel the light
(Everybody)
It's shining bright, baby
(Everybody)
Everybody
(Everybody)
We got to live together, oh
Right on, baby
Feel those earth blues coming at you, baby
Don't let your imagination take you by surprise
A queen and me, I, one day, visualise
My head in the cloud, my feet on the pavement
Don't get too stoned, please remember, you're a man
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Lord, there's got to be some changes
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Living together's gonna be a lot of re-arranges
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
You better be ready, Lord, my Lord
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Just hope love comes before the summer
(Everybody)
Everybody
(Everybody)
Got to feel the light
(Everybody)
You gotta feel the light, baby
(Everybody)
Everybody
(Everybody)
We gotta live together
(Everybody)
Keep it together
(Everybody)
Right on together
(Everybody)
Oh yeah
All standing together for the earth blues coming at you, baby
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Right on
Feel those earth blues coming at you
Gotta be a lot of together

Gonna be a whole lot of re-arranges

You better love me like it's gonna be the last time
And tell our child to bury daddy's old clothes
