Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look over yonder
What do you see?
The sun is a-risin'
Most definitely
A new day is comin', woo-hoo
People are changin'
Ain't it beautiful, woo-hoo
Crystal blue persuasion
[Verse 2]
Better get ready
Gonna see the light
Love, love is the answer, woo-hoo
And that's all right
So don't you give up now, woo-hoo
It's so easy to find
Just look to your soul (Look to your soul)
And open your mind
[Chorus]
Crystal blue persuasion
Mmm-hmm
It's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion
Crystal
Blue persuasion
[Verse 3]
Maybe tomorrow
When he looks down
On every green field, woo-hoo
And every town
All of his children
In every nation
There'll be peace and good
Brotherhood
Crystal blue persuasion, yeah
[Chorus]
Crystal blue persuasion, a-ha
Crystal blue persuasion, a-ha
[Outro]
Crystal blue persuasion, a-ha, crystal blue persuasion, a-ha (Oh)
Crystal blue persuasion, a-ha
Crystal blue persuasion, a-ha
Crystal blue persuasion
