Let's not forget though trying times there are
We have not lost the war, by far
Still work to be done and as the old hymn says
"We all can overcome"

Let's not forget the sunrise in the sky
The love and wonders why, you don't do or die
But at best you try
Don't let life pass you by

Do what you do when you're feeling free
You can be what you want to be
Open your mind and you can see
Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need

Kiss me once and maybe kiss me twice
Sweetens the spice of life my child
Just give me a smile
It is your big world to make it all worthwhile

Let's not forget advice on love today
I'm really not so wise this way
So what do you say, two loving human beings
Just trying to make a way

Do what you do when you're feeling free, my baby
You can be what you want to be, right now
Open your mind and you can see, alright
Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need

My baby, my baby, my baby

Do what you do when you're feeling free
You can be what you want to be
Open your mind and you can see
Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need

Do what you do when you're feeling free, my baby
You can be what you want to be, right now
Open your mind and you can see, alright
Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need

Do what you do when you're feeling free, my baby
You can be what you want to be, right now
