Earth Blues

I see hands and distant faces
Reaching upward, not quite touching the promised land
Well I tasted a whole lot of precious years wasted
Saying please Lord, give us a helping hand
There's got to be some changes, a whole lotta real changes
You better hope love is the answer
You better hope it comes before the summer
Well everybody can hear the sound of Freedom speeding high
Sirens flashing with earth and rockets stoning
You better love me like this gonna be the last time
And tell the child to bury daddy's old clothes
Yeah, they're talking about getting together
Together for love or blood
You better hope love is the answer
You better hope it comes before the summer

Everybody, every sister, every mother
To feel the light, it's shining bright
Everybody's gotta live together
Right on, baby, feel those surf blues coming at you

Don't let your imagination take you by surprise
A queen I'll be one day, visualize
My head in the cloud, my feet on the pavement
Don't get too stoned, please remember you're a man
There's got to be some changes
