(chorus)

Sometimes, I feel like I can do anything and

sometimes, I'm so alive

sometimes, I feel like I can zoom cross the sky and,

sometimes, I wanna cry



Most people try to aim to please

but a lot a them are kinda weak in the knees

learnin' late about the birds and the bees

falllin' in love and wanna bee set free

playin' ball at the age of thirteen

everybody's growin up with a dream

I never noticed what could happen to me

time flies when you're walkin' the streets

one minute gotcha holdin' an ace

the next minute gotcha fall on yer face

a mean city is a nasty place

only a rat can win a rat race!

peace to the people who be fallin' away

to make it home today

and peace to the people who be tryin' to find

som kinda life

(chorus)



Sound body and sound of mind

sound of the rhythm and sound of the rhyme

somebody marchin' all out of time

biggest mistakes are the humanest kind

judge not, lest you be judged

the court room or the billy club

blood bubblin' thicker than mud

the heart beat rub-a-dub-dub

show love and love who you know

family wherever you go

Tokyo to Acapulco

bravissimo, magnifico

peace to the people who be losing their head

peace to the people who be needin' a bed





love to the people who be feelin' alone

spreadin' love upon the microphone

hope to the people who be feelin' down

smile to the people who be wearin' a frown

faith to the people who be seekin' the truth y'all

all of the time, and I say

(chorus)
