Right On (original Detroit mix, 1971-04-05) Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Hey, baby
That′s alright people
I know that's alright
Everyday that′s alright
Oh, when we love each other
I know that's alright
Oh just feel it, feel it
Oh, everybody feel it
God knows that's alright, yes

Some of us were born
With money to spend
Some of us were born
For races to win
Some of us are aware
That it′s good for us to care
Some of us feel the icy wind
Of poverty blowing in the air


For those of us who simply like to socialize
For those of us who tend the sick
Ah, and heed the people′s cries
Let me say to you, right on

Oh, feel it, feel
Yeah, oh, oh, oh Lord, Lord, Lord, people
And I say, right on
Hey, right on

For those of us who live
Where peace is craved
For those of us who live
Where hatred is enslaved (alright)
For those of us who live a life (yeah)
Surrounded by good fortune and wealth (talk about it)

For those of us who live a life
Hey, hey, hey, enjoying ourselves
For those of us who got drowned
In the sea of happiness
For the soul that takes pride in his God
And himself and everything else


Love
Love
Sweet love
Love
Wonderful love

Ah, true love
Love
Love for your brother
And love, love for God
Love
Oh, love

Oh, true love can conquer hate every time
Give out some love and you'll find peace sublime
And my darling, one more thing
If you let me, I will take you
To live where love is king
Oh, baby
