Cat Stevens – Music lyrics
Yesterday I was on the edge
Hoping everything was going to work itself out
A good honest man doing the work of god
Trying to make things better for him
A lover of life in a school for fools
Trying to find another way to survive

New music, music, new music
Sweet music can lighten us
Can brighten the world, can save us

My friend said well, I think I found a way
To help make myself richer
I said don't you know , well, it wont be too long before
The bad ol devil will get you back
Back.. I said put back your heart and sing , sing while
You know you're still living
Sing, sing, sing , while you know there's still

Chorus

Take a look at the world
Think about how it will end
There'd be no wars in the world
If everybody joined the band
Think about the light in your eyes
Think about what you should know
Thered be no wars in the world
If everybody joined in the show oh oh

Think about the light in your eyes
Think about what you should know
Thered be no wars in the world
If everybody joined in the show
In the show

Chorus
