The way of life is tough these days, it's hard to get along.
But jesus came and he talked to me, and that's why i wrote this song.
He told me of my brothers in a far and distant land.
He said that it's gettin' crowded on earth, and it's time we made some plans.
Time we made some plans.


He said overpopulation is the problem of today.
There's too many children on the earth, and more on the way.
If you don't start some birth control, then you won't last too much longer.
It's best that we let it save our souls, so we can get much stronger.
Get much stronger.


Ahhh ...


I'm afraid of overpopulation.
I don't want to die of suffocation.
The world is full of pollution.
And jesus is the solution.


He said we're gettin' near the end, and i'm as close as you are.
If you take jesus as a friend, you're gonna' be a big star.
Star that shiness in the sky above, a light you cannot sever.
You will be with him above, and you will shine forever.
Shine forever.


Ahhh ...


He trys to be with me.
He's tryin to set me free.
He wants to be with you.
So you won't have to die.

We're having a party, yeah, yeah, everybody's invited,
The new generation along with the old.
If you could get with it just a little more, it don't take much tryin',
You'll find out if you've got some rock & roll soul, baby.


Ain't everybody in the world. so when you know what you got, let everybody know,
You got some rock & roll soul.
So when you know what you got, let everybody know,
You got some rock & roll soul.


I know it when i'm feelin' groovy,
It's kind of funky like an old-time movie.
I can feel it and it's really something,
It's really something when my heart starts pumpin', yeah.


Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.
Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.


Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.
Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.
Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.
Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.
Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.

I remember the night so well.
The rain was fallin' but i just couldn't tell,
If it was you that was callin' to my love-sick brain.
But the rain kept fallin' on my window pane.


Out of the night the thunder rang in my ear.
I can't fight the feelin', lord, that brings forth my fears.
I wish it was over, lord, please stop the rain.
The rain that's fallin' on my window pane.


The rain that's fallin' on my window pane.


Every night the rain's on time, i can feel it in this heart of mine.
But i don't know what to do.
Well, i guess i could go back home, 'cause you know back home is where i belong.
But it just ain't home without you.


And i don't know what to do, baby.


Well, i guess i'm a looser but it just don't seem fair.
I lost all my life so tell me, why should i care?
The night that you left me is the night that it came.
And the rain's still fallin' on my window pane.


The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
You know the rain.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
I said the rain.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
You know the rain.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
I said the rain.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
You know the rain ...
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
... keeps right on fallin'.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.


I said, the rain keeps fallin' ...

I been gettin' lonely, too much these days.
I been gettin' lonely, i guess i better get away.
But where can i go that's real? life's a stage on a ferris wheel.
And the actors are all fighting just to see who gets the lead in the play.


Oh, no, no.
I gotta' find me a better day.


Talk about down, i feel so lonely.
Talk about down, i'm startin to worry.
Don't really want to be all alone. i can't get along with the chicks at home.
The world just don't seem right, my head is spinnin', and i hate what's goin' down.

You gotta' find me a better day.


Oh, gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
You gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
You gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find, gotta' find,
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find, gotta' find,
Gotta' find,
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.

I wrote the words of freedom,
I've even sung the song.
But freedom is for children,
'cause they don't understand what's wrong.


The children are so very lucky,
'cause they're not old enough to know.
Not old enough to realize,
But they'll find out as they grow.


The children are so very lucky,
But, on the other hand, who's gonna' save the land?
The children are so very lucky,
But man's invention is gonna' be the prevention of their life.


This song is nearly over,
And so's the world and the day.
There's something missin',
But who will listen enough to do what it will take?


Freedom is for children. why can't it be for me?
Freedom is for children. why can't it be for me?


Freedom is for children. why can't it be for me?
Freedom is for children. why can't it be for me?
Freedom is for children. why can't it be for me?
