These are the lyrics for the version off the Unity album, and NOT the Omaha Sessions version, the latter contains a verse of Nick rapping. As a result, the Omaha Sessions version should not be linking to this version.
[Verse 1]
I thought about my scene today and I’ve finally got the words to say
The truth is cutting like a knife, gonna use it to cut away my strife
The grass is green and the sky is blue
My head is clear and my thoughts are true
[Pre-Chorus]
Callin’ out young and old
We got a thing that can’t be sold
The time that takes to rise above
In the summer of love
[Chorus]
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
[Verse 2]
I wake up each day to the sun and it’s hard to chose what to do for fun
A blissful world surrounds me and my brothers and sisters, love is always free
Don’t you know that I’ve waited my whole life
Just to show what’s inside and let my love flow
That’s what I’m sayin’
[Pre-Chorus]
Callin’ out young and old
We got a thing that can’t be sold
The time that takes to rise above
In the summer of love
[Chorus]
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
[Dub Break]
[Chorus]
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
It’s the summer, it’s the summer
It’s the summer of love I say
[Outro]
I said it’s the summer of love
My head is clear, and my thoughts are true
