[Intro: Isley Jasper Isley]
Ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh
[Verse 1: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Are you ready for the time of your life
It's time to stand up and fight
(It's alright) It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
Hand in hand we'll take a caravan
To the motherland
One by one we're gonna stand with the pride
One that can't be denied
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
From the highest mountain, and valley low
We'll join together with hearts of gold
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Jasper]
Now the children of the world can see
There's a better way for us to be
The place where mankind was born is so neglected and torn
Torn apart
[Chorus: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
[Post-Chorus: Chris Jasper]
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
[Verse 2: Chris Jasper]
We'll be living in a world of peace
In a day when everyone is free
We'll bring the young and the old
Won't you let your love flow from your heart
[Chorus: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
[Post-Chorus: Chris Jasper]
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
[Verse 3: Chris Jasper]
Now the children of the world can see
There's a better way for us to be
The place where mankind was born
Is so neglected and torn
Torn apart
[Chorus: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
[Bridge: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Are you ready for the time of your life?
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Are you ready for the time of your life?
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Come go with me
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Come go with me
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
[Chorus: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Caravan of Love was written by Marvin Isley & Chris Jasper & Ernie Isley.
Caravan of Love was produced by Marvin Isley & Chris Jasper & Ernie Isley.
That’s sung by everybody all over the world. If you Google that song, you’ll see people all over the place singing that song. And when I wrote it, I had no idea it would be that well-received, but it is and I consider it a great blessing.”
