Lyrics

Talk about
Talk about
Oh, don't go and talk about my Father (Ah, talk about my Father)
God is my friend (Jesus is my friend)
He made this world for us to live in (He made this world)
And gave us everything (Lord gave us everything)
And all he asks of us (Peace!)
Is we give each other love, oh, yeah
Don't go and talk about my Father (Don't talk about, oh, no no)
'Cause God is my friend (Jesus is my friend)
He loves us whether or not we know it (Just loves us, oh yeah)
And He'll forgive all our sins (He'll forgive our sins), oh, yeah
And all He asks of us, oh, yeah
Is we give each other love, oh, yeah
Love your mother (She bore you)
Love your father (He works for you)
Love your sister (She's good to you)
Love your brother (Love), your brother (Love)
Don't go and talk about my Father (Talk about, He's good to us)
God is my friend (Jesus is my friend), yes He is
And when we call on Him for mercy (Mercy, Father)
He'll be merciful, my friend, oh, yeah (Oh, yes, He will, yes, He will)
All he asks of us, I know-
