You know my life has been through some changes Seems some people don't want to hear my point of view Lots of others, lots of others think that we got lucky But you know brother, we all have to pay our dues [CHORUS] But the world's got problems and that's a fact Let's open up our eyes That's what matters, let's cut the slack And let's all realize If we all could stand together And we all could live as one If we stop all this fighting and set all our sights on love It'll be a perfect world >From L.A. to New York City There's a day in day out routine of what you've got to do Please allow me to make a suggestion Do whatever, whatever, whatever you've got to do To make it through [CHORUS]
