[Intro]
\nHey, baby, that's alright, people
\nI know that's alright
\nEveryday, that's alright
\nOh, when we love each other
\n
\n[Verse 1]
\nI know that's alright
\nOh, just feel it, feel it
\nOh, everybody feel it
\nGod know that's alright, yes
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nSome of us were born with money to spend
\nSome of us were born for races to win
\nSome of us are aware that it's good for us to care
\nSome of us feel the icy wind of poverty blowing in the air
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nFor those of us who simply like to socialize
\nFor those of us who tend the sick
\nAnd heed the people's cries
\nLet me say to you, right on
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nOh, feel it, feel
\nYeah, oh, oh, oh, Lord, Lord, Lord, people
\nAnd I say, right on
\nHoney, right on
\n
\n[Verse 4]
\nFor those of us who live where peace is craved
\nFor those of us who live where hatred is enslaved, alright
\nFor those of us who live a life, yeah
\nSurrounded by good fortune and wealth (Talk about it)
\n
\n[Verse 5]
\nFor those of us who live a life, hey, hey, hey, enjoying ourselves
\nFor those of us who got drowned in the sea of happiness
\nFor the soul that takes pride in his God
\nAnd himself and everything else
\n
\n[Instrumental Break]
\n
\n[Verse 6]
\nLove, love, sweet love, love, wonderful love
\nAh, true love, love, love for your brother
\nAnd love, love for God
\nLove, ah, pure love
\n
\n[Verse 7]
\nAh, true love can conquer hate every time
\nGive out some love and you'll find peace sublime
\nAnd my darling, one more thing
\nIf you let me, I will take you to live where love is king
\nAh, baby\n\n
