Too many people talking
In too many different ways
Looks like the politician's
Got it sewn up today
But a hundred years from now
Where are they gonna be
So whatever's making you sad today
Won't matter when you leave
Chorus:
Take a look around you
Don't let the world bring you down
Take a look at yourself
Let a smile replace a frown
Trouble is something we got too much of
Tryin' to find something new
Rivers and rainbows, God's creations
Out there waiting for you
Get up on your feet, get 'em to move
Take a holiday from the blues
Swim in the river, fly over the rainbow
What have you got to loose
Chorus
Take a look at the good that could
Make you glad you're livin'
Take a look at you and me
There's more love we could be givin'
If it's love that's making you sad
Then it's not the love you need
Love is supposed to make you happy
Go out and find the love you need
Get up on your feet, get 'em to move
Move 'em on down the line
Let your love go for everybody
Don't you think it's about time
Chorus
(repeat)
