Billy Preston

Hey, brother
Where you goin' with that stick in your hand?
He said, "Goin' over here
Goin' to destroy another man's land"

'Cause one man but nothing to other man but all
Together we stand and divided we fall
It's sad to know today
People aren't willing to show a little love for you

(Love)
And we need more love
(Love)
We all need love

(Love)
That sustains enough love
(Love)
Gimme some love

(Love)
Callin', buddy, I want love
(Love)
'Cause

I loved the most, I paid the price that cost
Too much for freedom
Look, just understand, I'm a man
I come from that same mother called nature
Yeah

I'll tell you what's wrong, I'm was born to be strong
To be tied down, I can't stand it
Listen, wrong or right, black or white
We all deserve an equal right

Hey, brother
Learn how to live with one another, ya
Hey, brother
Hey, brother
Learn how to live with one another
Hey, sister
