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? |
