Brian Jackson, Gil Scott-Heron - Song for Bobby Smith lyrics
[Brian Jackson, Gil Scott-Heron - Song for Bobby Smith lyrics]
I know a young warrior named Bobby Smith
He's gonna be four years old
On his next birthday
He happened to be with Brian and
Me 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 "Ooh that's
Pretty that's my song"
And 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 going?
Can't you taste your ideas growing?
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 going?
To a place where friendship's flowing?
We are brothers
And rothers and sisters in a spirit
Can't you see it?
Yeaheahe can't you feel it in your heart?
Ain't you been there? Ain't you going?
Can't you take this love I'm showing?
Got to be you and me and you and me together
Can't you see it?
Can't you feel it in your heart?
He's gonna be four years old
On his next birthday
He happened to be with Brian and
Me 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 "Ooh that's
Pretty that's my song"
And 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 going?
Can't you taste your ideas growing?
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 going?
To a place where friendship's flowing?
We are brothers
And rothers and sisters in a spirit
Can't you see it?
Yeaheahe can't you feel it in your heart?
Ain't you been there? Ain't you going?
Can't you take this love I'm showing?
Got to be you and me and you and me together
Can't you see it?
Can't you feel it in your heart?
