Harvest for the World Songtext
von The Isley Brothers

All babies together, everyone a seed
Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need
Love′s bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed
Oh, when will there be a harvest for the world?
Yeah, yeah, yeah

A nation planted, so concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain
And far too many feelin' the strain
Oh, when will there be a harvest for the world?
Yeah-yeah, yeah

Gather every man, gather every woman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children (oh!)
Gather everyone (gather everyone), gather all together (gather all together)
Overlooking none (overlooking none)
Hopin′ life gets better for the world
Yeah, yeah-yeah, no


Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace
Those of us who pay the price, come home with the least
And nation after nation, turning into beast
Oh, when will there be a harvest for the world?
Yeah-yea

When will there be?
I wanna know now, now
When will there be (harvest for the world) a harvest?
When will there be (harvest for the world) a harvest?
When will there be (harvest for the world) a harvest?
When will there be (harvest for the world) a harvest?
When will there be (harvest for the world) a harvest?
When will there be (harvest for the world) a harvest?

When will there be? (Harvest for the world)
When will there be? (Harvest for the world)
Everybody (harvest for the world)
Eh, talking 'bout the children (harvest for the world)
When will there be (harvest for the world) a harvest?
When will there be? (Harvest for the world)
