Hello my friend So happy to see you again I'm so alone Been all by myself Just couldn't make it I said get out of your grave Everybody's dancing in the street Do what you know, don't be slow You gotta practice what you preach Cause it's time for you and me Time to face reality Forget about the past Baby Things ain't what they used to be Keep on Straight Ahead We gotta stand side by side We got to stand together and organize They say power to the people That's what they're screamin' Freedom of the soul Pass it on to young and old You got to tell the children the truth They don't need a whole lot of lies Cause one of these days Baby They'll be running things So when you give them love You better give it right Woman - Child - Man and Wife The best love to have is the Love of Life Hello my friend So good to see you again Been all by myself I don't think I can make it alone Keep Pushing Ahead
