Friendship Train

Sick minds, sad sights
Never ending sleepless nights have been accepted as an everyday thing
Wire tapping, kidnapping

Will the Russians push the button?

I tell you, people, our thoughts and values have got to change
They say love is the strongest force on this earth
Uh, but to me, peace among people surpasses love and worth
People (jobs don`t come no bigger than the one we`ve got to do.)
If we don`t give peace a chance, what do you think is gonna happen to me and you?

Think about it

That`s why I am reaching out my hand to be your friend
This unrest between races has got to come to an end
Don`t let the color of my skin confuse you
I swear on a stack of bibles I won`t misuse you

So put your hand in mine

Walk on

Oh, ding-dong-ding let the freedom bell ring
The good Lord made you and me, what he wanted us to be
Free all those people you got chained up in your mind
Now there`s truth in what I'm saying
We gotta stop the games we're playing
Two wrongs, wrongs, wrongs, ain't never made a right (Right)
Hung up, tripped out, whatever you may be
Now is the time to set yourself free

Put your hand in mine

Walk on
Walk on

Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white
Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white
Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white
Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white

Calling out to everyone across the nation
Said the world is in a desperate situation
Stealing, burning, fighting, killing
Nothing but corruption
Oh lord, yes, It looks like mankind in on the eve of destruction
Oh yes it is now people let me tell you now
We've got to learn to live with each other
No matter what the race, creed or color
I just got to tell you what the world needs now
(what the world needs now)
Is love and understanding get aboard the friendship train
Everybody shake a hand make a friend

We've got to start today to make tomorrow
A brighter day for our children
Come on people now we can do it
I can prove it but only if our hearts are willing
So get aboard the friendship train (train)
Everybody, shake a hand, make a friend

It don't matter what you look like
People or who you are
If your heart is in the right place
Talking about the right place
You're welcome aboard
This train stands for justice
This train stands for freedom
This train stands for harmony and peace
This train stands for love
So get onboard the friendship train
Everybody, shake a hand, make a friend
Amen

This is the key
Harmony is the key my sisters and brothers
Harmony is the key my sisters and brothers
Harmony is the key my sisters and brothers
