Tell you a story, May seem hard to believin' time of the season, All of my glory made me much more aware of the problem we share. If we unite it'll all turn out right. It's wonderful, you can feel it believe me. S'wonderful, everything'll turn out right. S'wonderful, I'm gonna take you with me. Every awareness Seems to bring us together, storm in the weather. Being enlightened is like choosing the road in which you wish to go, Planting a seedling and watching it grow. Wonderful, you can feel it believe me. Wonderful, everything'll be right S'wonderful, I think I'm goin', goin', Goin', goin', goin', goin', goin' People keep happy, You'll be happier yet for there's help: you forget. When you are happy every place feels like home 'cause you're never alone. There's much to be said but it's all in your head. S'wonderful, ain't it groovy, S'wonderful, S'wonderful, you can feel it believe me, Swonderful, everything'll be right, right, right, I'm gonna take you with me. S'wonderful (it's gonna be right) (bye, bye) (Gonna ride with my baby) (wonderful, wonderful
