Old man the world is on your shoulder
And your heart is on your sleeve
May you find the pretty things
To beat the stormy weather
Sunsets over water
Show you how to dream in the sweet power of love
Sure enough brother, sure enough sister
The sweet power of love will keep us elevated
'Cause when the Sun don’t shine
When the clouds come home
And we can't go on holding on
Ain't no need to worry babe
If you’ve got love then you got fire
Ain't no need to worry babe
Let my love take you higher
Old man when your mind is downtrodden
By the powers that be remember where you come from
The sweet power of love
There’s so much lovin’
So much coming
The sweet power of love will keep us elevated
Even when the Sun don’t shine
When the clouds come home
And we can’t go on holding on
Ain't no need to worry babe
If you’ve got love then you got fire
Ain't no need to worry babe
Let my love take you higher
I want to kick it with you
Lets kick it together
