are you taken by surprise
when your fellow man decides
that what you're doin' isn't right
you can keep on tellin' lies
that keep you deaf from people's cries
there's somethin' you should see
we got love to keep us free
we got love and we gonna change our world
we got love and we gonna change our world
i made my home out in the city
just to see what i could find
though my heart was in my country
i was not there to close my eyes
i've been tired of all the same
must've been a siren in my head
i've been ridin' all my feelin's
all this runnin' and my temperature won't change
you reap just what you sow
the wise men all have told us so
trust those feelin's deep within
how you must treat your fellow man
nature itself demands a change
the universe is on our side
we can't hold back the comin' tide
we got love and we gonna change our world
we got love and we gonna change our world
i made my home out in the city
just to see what i could find
though my heart was in my country
i was not there to close my eyes
i've been tired of all the same
must've been a siren in my head
i've been ridin' all my feelin's
all this runnin' and my temperature won't change
