Someday I know that there will come a time   That we all will have to come together as one   So when will we let this wall be the end   Let the love begin, tell me      When I was coming up   I got old fashion love   Never talked back to mama   Always knew where a kid's place was      I feel much frustration   Gotta teach this generation   To love one another again      If you wanna learn, respect   You gotta give it, respect   You gotta show the whole world what it is   If you wanna gain, respect   You gotta give, respect   Sharing it with everyone that lives      Father, father watch   What you say and do   Forty years from now   Your kids will be you      If you teach, they'll know   The right way to go, let them feel love   What comes around, goes around   Show them that      If you wanna learn, respect   You gotta give it, respect   You gotta show the whole world what it is   If you wanna gain, respect   You gotta give, respect   Sharing with everyone that lives      Watch what you say and do   Children they learn from you   Don't let the cycle end   Let's make the love begin   Hold on don't give up yet   Give love and give respect      If you wanna learn, respect   You gotta give it, respect   You gotta show the whole world what it is   If you wanna gain, respect   You gotta give, respect   Sharing with everyone that lives      Watch what you say and do   Children they learn from you   Don't let the cycle end   Let's make the love begin   Hold on don't give up yet   Give love and give respect      This is simple things   That make me feel like I'm in a trance   Floating on top of the world   And only love can make me dance   Yes, only love can make me dance
