๐ Lyrics
You know, Martha, I'm just so disgusted
Because Mother Nature didn't intend for the things that are happening
To happen to us like it's happening
I don't believe that God intended for
Us to destroy so many beautiful things
And take away the beauty that he bestowed upon us
You're right, James, that it's a shame the way poverty is going on
Pollution, all the destructions that's happening
And the war of the world
That's right
Ah, when the world began, it wasn't supposed to be this way
I'm sure it wasn't, and I feel that, ah
That we can find a way together
You're my beautiful sister and I love you
And this is my sister
And Martha...
I've been with him for a long time
You've seen me grow up, and become a woman
God bless you
And I just wanna say, Summertime
And the living is easy, yeah
Ah, the fish are jumping, yeah, not like they used to, yeah, yeah
I don't see the cotton grow very high
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My old daddy ain't rich
Thank God, my, my, my, my, my mammy is
Still good-looking, yeah, yeah, yeah
Getting from my roots, so I wanna tell you out there
'Cause you, and you, and you, and especially
That little baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you cry, I don't care whether you're white, black, blue or green
Yellow, red, purple or orange
Don't you cry, God is gonna make it better, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So much better, yeah, yeah, yeah, in the Summertime
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
And take to the sky
But 'til that morning
There ain't nothing can harm you, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause your mama and your daddy
Is standing, standing by
God bless you, God bless you
That's for you, James
That's for the people, I love you, sister
I love you, too
That's what we all need to do, express a little love for you
For your sister and your brother
'Cause one of these mornings, yeah
You're gonna rise up singing, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're gonna spread your little wings
And take to the sky
I don't care, I don't care whether you're white
Black, blue or green, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I believe, I believe if you love your
Brother, nothing can harm you, yeah
Ah, 'cause your mama and your daddy
Is standing, standing by
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Is standing by
Summertime
Standing by
Standing by
Summertime
