Give me love. Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light. Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope. Help me cope
with this heavy load
Trying to, touch and reach you with,
heart and soul
OM . . . My Lord . . .
PLEASE take hold of my hand
that I might understand you
Won't you please. Oh won't you
Give me love. Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light. Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope. Help me cope
with this heavy load
Trying to touch and reach you with,
heart and soul
OM . . . My Lord . . .
PLEASE take hold of my hand
that I might understand you
Won't you please -- oh won't you
Give me love . . .
You serve me
And I'll serve you
Swing your partners, all get screwed
Bring your lawyer
And I'll bring mine
Get together, and we could have
a bad time
It's affidavit swearing time
Sign it on the dotted line
Hold your Bible in your hand
Now all that is left is to
Find yourself a new band . . .
We're gonna play the sue me, sue
you blues
We're gonna play the sue me, sue
you blues
Hold the block on money flow
Move it into joint escrow
Court receiver, laughs, and thrills
But in the end we just pay those
lawyers their bills
When you serve me
And I serve you
Swing your partners, all get screwed
Bring your lawyer
And I'll bring mine
Get together, and we could have
a bad time
We're gonna play the sue me, sue
you blues
I'm tired of playing the
Sue Me, Sue You Blues
I've heard how some people, have said
that I've changed
That I'm not what I was
How it really is a shame
The thoughts in their heads,
Manifest on their brow
Like bad scars from ill feelings
they themselves arouse
So hateful of anyone that is happy or 'free'
They live all their lives, without looking to see
The light that has lighted the world
It's funny how people, just won't
accept change
As if nature itself - they'd prefer
re-arranged
So hard to move on
When you're down in a hole
Where there's so little chance,
to experience soul
I'm grateful to anyone, that is happy or 'free'
For giving me hope while I'm looking to see
The light that has lighted the world
How I love you baby
So don't let me wait too long
How I love you baby
So don't let me wait too long
How I miss you baby
So don't let me wait too long
How I miss you baby
So don't let me wait too long
'Till you're here by my side
Now only you know how to dry up all
of those tears that I've cried
Here with your love
Now only you know how to lay it down
like it came from above
You know it's you that I love
Now don't let me wait too long
Now don't let me wait too long
Now don't let me wait too long
Now don't let me wait too long
Till you're here by my side
Now only you know how to dry up
all of those tears that I've cried
Here with your love
Now only you know how to lay it there
like it came from above
You know it's you that I love
So don't let me wait too long
So don't let me wait too long
How I miss you baby
So don't let me wait too long
How I miss you baby
So don't let me wait,
Don't let me wait,
Don't let me wait too long
I've been held up,
I've been run down
I can see quite clearly now
through those past years,
when I played towing the line.
I only ask, that what I feel,
should not be denied me now,
As it's been earned, and I have seen
my life belongs to me
My love belongs to who can see it
I've lived in fear,
I've been 'out there,
I've been 'round and
seen my share
of this sad world,
And all the hate,
that it's stirred
I only ask,
that what I know,
should not be denied me now
As it's been learned,
And I have seen my life belongs to me
My love belongs to who can see it
I only ask, that what I feel,
should not be denied me now
As it's been earned,
and I have seen my life belongs to me
My love belongs to who can see it.
My love belongs to who . . .
I'm living in the material world
Living in the material world
can't say what I'm doing here
But I hope to see much clearer,
after living in the material world
I got born into the material world
Getting worn out in the material world
Use my body like a car,
Taking me both near and far
Met my friends all in the material world
Met them all here in the material world
John and Paul here in the material world
Though we started out quite poor
We got 'Richie' on a tour
Got caught up in the material world
From the Spiritual Sky,
Such sweet memories have I
To the Spiritual Sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
that I won't get lost
or go astray
As I'm fated for the material world
Get frustrated in the material world
Senses never gratified
Only swelling like a tide
That could drown me in the
material world
From the Spiritual Sky,
Such sweet memories have I
To the Spiritual Sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
that I won't get lost
or go astray
While I'm living in the material world
Not much 'giving' in the material world
Got a lot of work to do
Try to get a message through
And get back out of this material world
I'm living in the material world
Living in the material world
I hope to get out of this place
by the Lord Sri Krsna's Grace
My salvation from the material world
The Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give,
then you don't get loving
Now the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you
We all making out
Like we own this whole world
While the leaders of nations
They're acting like big girls
With no thought for their God
Who provides us with all
But when death comes to claim them
Who will stand, and who will fall?
The Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give,
then you don't get loving
Now the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you
We all move around,
with objectives in mind,
to become rich or famous,
With our reputation signed,
But the few that can reach,
to this coveted slot,
Don't escape old age creeping,
through their bodies like a rot
While the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give,
then you don't get loving
Now the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you
Remember, Now, Be Here Now
As it's not like it was before.
The past, was, Be Here Now
As it's not like it was before - it was
Why try to live a life,
that isn't real,
no how
A mind, that wants to wonder
'round a corner,
is an un-wise mind
Now, Is, Here Now
and it's not what it was before,
Remember, Now, Be Here Now
as it's not like it was before - it was
Way back in time
Someone said try some
I tried some
Now buy some - I bought some . . .
Oh Oh Oh
After awhile,
When I have tried them
denied them
I opened my eyes and
I saw you . . .
Not a thing did I have
Not a thing did I see
Till I called on your love
And your love came to me
OH OH OH OH OH OH
Through my life
I've seen gray sky,
met big fry,
seen them die to get high . . .
Oh Oh Oh
And when it seemed that I would
always be lonely
I opened my eyes and I saw you
Not a thing did I feel
Not a thing did I know
'Till I called on your love
And your love sure did grow
OH OH OH OH OH OH
Won't you try some
Baby won't you buy some
Won't you try some
Baby won't you buy some
The day the world gets 'round,
to understanding where it is,
Using all it's found,
to help each other, hand in hand
The day the world gets 'round
to understand where it's gone
Losing so much ground
killing each other, hand in hand
Such foolishness in man
I want no part of their plan -- OH NO
If you're the destructive kind
Now I'm working from day to day
As I don't want to be like you
I look for the pure of heart
And the ones that have made a start,
But Lord, there are just a few
Who bow before you,
in silence they pray,
Oh how they pray for the day the
world gets 'round
Using all they've found
To help each other, hand in hand
The Day The World Gets 'Round
That is all I want to say
Our love could save the day
That is all I'm waiting for
To try to love you more-
-and that is all I want to do
To get right next to you
That is all I'm living for,
your love and nothing more
and that is all
Times I find it hard to say
With useless words getting in my way
Silence often says much more
than trying to say what's been
said before
That is all I want from you
A smile when I feel blue
That is all I'm waiting for
Your love and nothing more
And that is all
Silence often says much more
than trying to say what's been
said before
But that is all I want to do
To give my love to you
That is all I'm living for,
Please let me love you more - and
that is all
