Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was walkin' down the street
Just the other day
I caught a glimpse of life
Vivid reality
[Verse 2]
I saw a man on the street
Didn't have no clothes or shoes
Hear the signs of what they say
Tell me, what can we do?
[Verse 3]
Everybody better stop, look and listen
Stop, look and listen
Stop, look and listen
To your heart
[Verse 4]
The prophets of the times
Are written on street car walls
Can't you see them cryin'?
Can't you hear them call?
Mother, Mother
Children still got to grow
Father, Father
Where do we go?
[Verse 5]
Stop, look and listen
Everybody better stop, look and listen
Stop, look and listen
To your heart
[Verse 6]
Space age assures us life will go on
Everybody's trying to believe
"Forget the future, think about right now"
Somehow seems to be the growing theme
[Verse 7]
Prophets of the times
Are written on street car walls
Can't you see them cryin'?
Can't you hear them call?
Mother, Mother
Children got to grow
Father, Father
Where do we go?
[Verse 8]
Stop, look and listen
Stop, look and listen
Stop, look and listen
To your heart
[Verse 9]
Space age assures us life will go on
Everybody's trying to believe
"Forget the future, think about right now"
Somehow seems to be the growing theme
[Verse 10]
Yeah, stop, look and listen
Stop, look and listen
Stop, look and listen
To your heart
[Verse 11]
Everybody sing
Stop, look and listen
I wanna see you all stop, look and listen
Wanna see you all stop, look and listen
To your heart
[Verse 12]
Space age assures us life will go on
Everybody's trying to believe
"Forget the future, think about right now"
Somehow seems to be the growing theme
[Verse 13]
You better stop, look and listen
Everybody better stop, look and listen
I just wanna say stop, look and listen
To your heart
[Verse 14]
Can't you help me say it now?
Stop, look and listen
Stop, look and listen
Stop, look and listen
To your heart
[Verse 15]
Come and help me say it now
Stop, look and listen
Stop, look and listen
Stop, look and listen
To your heart
[Verse 16]
Help me one more time, say it
