Song For Bobby Smith |
I know a young warrior named Bobby Smith |
He’s gonna be 4 years old on his next birthday |
He happened to be with Brian and I when we wrote this song |
It’s about new life and new spirit, new feelings |
We asked Bobby, «Bobby, what should we call this song?» |
And he said, «Oh that’s pretty, that’s my song.» |
That was very appropriate, this song for new life should be about Bobby |
This is 'A Song for Bobby Smith' |
Ain’t you been there? |
Ain’t you goin? |
Can’t you taste your ideas growin? |
We are soldiers |
Soldiers of a new day |
Can’t you see it? |
Can’t you feel it in your heart? |
Ain’t you been there and ain’t you goin |
To a place where friendship’s flowin? |
We are brothers |
Brothers and sisters in spirit |
Can’t you see it? |
Yeah, can’t you feel it in your heart? |
Ain’t you been there? |
Ain’t you goin? |
Can’t you take this love I’m showin? |
Got to be you and me |
You and me together |
Can’t you see it? |
Can’t you feel it in your heart? |
