Respect

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
