Lyrics

cats call me old school when they can't relate
don't understand a kind of music that don't include hate
or malice so I journey with Alice through wonderland, I wonder what the plan is
wonder should I stand in, can I be candid, spreadin love around the planet
singin' love songs is what I been commanded to do
it be demanded that I come on through....singin' sunshine instead of the blues
reflectin' light deflectin night get my inflections right without a trace of spite
don't wanna be that cat sittin' on the alleyway fence
so listen close ladies and gents
(sung)
so get to clappin' your hands......and reach out
in the name of peace dance....and freak out
see out of your circumstance and speak up
instead of talkin' about it become the hand of love

CHORUS:
I Got that soul control
ain't nobody can tell me no
That's just how it is
I got that soul control
move your body to and fro
that's just how it is

I don't retaliate when dissed or allow my
verbal offerings to consist of vitriol, rather dedicate
my crisp diction to a prediliction for spirit conscription
of an army of souls who fight violence with peace
no contradiction or hypocritical submission to
the powers that be, realizin' that true power is L-O-V-E
straight out of the sixties so people get ready
I'm not brand new but I'm one of the heavies
one of these cats who's gonna be rockin steady
have y'all tossin' confetti in the air all right
like Phil Collins I can feel it comin' in the air tonight
