[Intro: Toni]
When will people ever learn?
Wonder will they ever turned
From that suicidal course, ooh
Heading straight for war, ooh
I want the good life
Whoo, yeah-yeah
Give me the good life
Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh
(I don't wanna get-)
[Verse 1: Trina]
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever turn
That suicidal course
Straight to crash?
[Verse 2: Tamar]
Ooh, man is a cruel race
Leavin' a destructive trace
Everywhere that we go
We bring sorrow
[Chorus: Tamar]
To a good life
To a good world
To a good life
A good life
[Verse 3: Towanda]
There's no humanity, oh
There's no morality, oh-oh
Look in the mirror
Start a change with you
[Verse 4: Traci]
Time for a peaceful world
Together we can build
Pride and dignity
For you and me
(I don't wanna get-)
[Bridge: Toni]
I still keep on dreamin'
I still keep on dreamin'
That tomorrow's gonna be
Better than today, oh yeah (I don't wanna get-)
I keep on believin'
And I keep on believin'
That we'll someday finally
Find the one and only way
[Chorus: All / (Tamar)]
To a good life
To a good world
To a good life (Ooh-ooh, yeah)
(I don't wanna get stopped, baby) To a good life
(On my way to a better life, baby) To a good world
(I don't wanna get stopped, baby) To a good life
(On my way to a better life, baby)
[Verses 5&6: Toni]
Tear down the cold walls
That separate us all
Power and unity
For you and me (I don't-)
Then we can shout it out
Standing up tall and proud
Of what we reached so far
Say hoorah (I don't-)
[Chorus: All / *Toni* / (Tamar)]
To a good life, *yeah*
To a good world
To a good life, *people*
(I don't wanna get stopped, baby) To a good life, *yeah*
(On my way to a better life, baby) To a good world
(I don't wanna get stopped, baby) To a good life
(On my way to a better life, baby)
[Bridge Reprise: Toni]
Oh, I still keep on dreamin'
That tomorrow's gonna be
Better than today, yeah
Oh, I keep on believin'
That someday
We will find our way
[Chorus: All / *Toni* / (Tamar)]
To a good life, *yeah*
To a good world, *don't stop me now*
To a good life
(I don't wanna get stopped, baby) To a good life
(On my way to a better life, baby) To a good world
(I don't wanna get stopped, baby) To a good life
