Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, fallin' in, out of the streets again
Unemployment lines, a lot of people standing in
News is bad on every TV show
So I tune in my radio
[Verse 2]
Talkin' 'bout love to the people
Little bit of warning to the cold
Little bit of brotherhood
Guarantee it can be good for the soul
[Verse 3]
Well, nothing but beans on the table
Livin' the blues, paying the dues
I'm not hardly able
A lot of folks, thay say there is no way
And don't look to another day
Well, there's another way
[Verse 4]
Love to the people
Little bit of warning to the cold
Little but of brotherhood
Guarantee it can be good for the soul
[Verse 5]
In the morning
It's alright
I'm not givin' up
This little pride
I got a lifetime
To keep livin' mine
The way you do it
Is to get right to it
[Verse 6]
Sometimes I think before our life is gone
We'll see the kingdom come
[Verse 7]
Well, well, talkin' 'bout love to the people
Little bit of warning to the cold
Little but of brotherhood
Guarantee it can be good for the soul
Love to the people
Little bit of warning to the cold
Little but of brotherhood
Guarantee it can be good for the soul
[Verse 8]
In the morning
It's alright
I'm not givin' up
This little pride
I got a lifetime
To keep livin' mine
The way you do it
Is to get right to it
[Verse 9]
In the morning
It's alright
I'm not givin' up
This little pride
I got a lifetime
To keep livin' mine
The way you do it...
