When the whole world lets you down

I see a river flowing by meHeading for the seaI get a feeling deep inside meIt`s so good to be freeI`ve got sunshine in the daytimeAnd moonlight every nightAnd i`m just groovin ......
That i`m just groovin, groovinGrooving out on lifeI`m just groovin ooh grovinGrovin till i die

Take the man in the white cloak A pointed mask to hide his face Murders in the name of religion If you`re not the right colour or race. Take the man in the black cloak He`s holding justice in his hands, Lets the man in the white cloak go, Calls it the law of the land. Take the man in the brown shirt A burning hatred in his eyes Fired by ignorant reaction, Fanned by political lies Take the man in the blue cap His back`s against the wall Links arms with the man in the brown shirt He`s trying to break his own fall.
Love Is all is alright But you left it a little to late Love is all is alright But you`ve got to find a little more hate.
