Life
Mark Farner Life, this is an outrageous life, We're living in We call this turmoil our life, Oh, and it's gettin' old coming over again But we don't hear nobody, Say what they're after And we don't hear nobody, Searching for answers John Kennedy died, They thought he had a solution We want to know, What happened to the revolution Did we all get hung up in life And do we all know, Just where were going Everything's wrong, So a change has got to be right (man, baby) Life, for all the rest of our life, Will we be wrapped up in strife Or, are we gonna start it all over again We want to have somebody, Come up with the answers We want to be somebody, That know's what their after We hope that everybody, Can hear what I'm sayin' We know that we will, If we just keep on prayin' Learning to share what were standing on Learning to care 'cus it's been so long No one so big that they have it all We've got to give to the very small Life, Give me the rest of my life, I want to finish it right So, I don't have to start all over again Let's get together, For some satisfaction Let's stand together, On a chain reaction We need somebody, We could really depend on Don't wait till tomorrow, 'Cause it just might be too long Learning to share what were standing on Learning to care 'cus it's been so long No one so big that they have it all We've got to give to the very small
