I'm talkin' to you
|
I got a couple things I'd like to say
|
The world's a mess and there's so much to do
|
And you're the one who gets to save the day
|
Well I hope you'll do fine
|
Couldn't do much worse than this generation of mine
|
We had the answer but forgot that line
|
That says love is all
|
Hey kid
|
With my hair and my clothes
|
I bet you got some big dreams up your sleeve
|
Well here's a secret every old guy knows
|
Time goes by like you would not believe
|
So don't wait - make it real
|
Try to do some work that'll help everybody heal
|
I don't know much but the one thing I feel
|
Is that love is all
|
Love is all
|
Ah ah ah ah
|
Go have your fun
|
I surely had my share
|
Ah ah ah ah
|
But I'm not quite done
|
Look around I might be there
|
With my cane and a song
|
So stay sharp - know the score
|
Don't you let the man try to sell you another war
|
Give all you've got and then give some more
|
Because love is all
|
Ah ah ah ah
|
Go have your fun
|
I surely had my share
|
Ah ah ah ah
|
But I'm not quite done
|
Look around I might be there
|
In the place I belong
|
Hey kid
|
You're no fool
|
I know that you don't need to hear this from me
|
Now you're the one who decides what's cool
|
And it really doesn't matter if I agree
|
So turn it up
|
Play it with style
|
Maybe learn a new chord once in a while
|
Practice your chops and practice your smile
|
And get up when you fall
|
And in the end brother please be kind
|
Don't believe the hate creepin' into your mind
|
Look inside every day and I hope what you find
|
Is that love is all
|
Oh love is all
|
"now get off my lawn."
