Testo Sweetness and light Clifford T. Ward

Sweetness and light

When life gets weary

And the going gets tough

And you're feeling the worse for wear

Well don't be down hearted

And don't give up

Remember we on the left still care.

It's gonna take some intuition

To see us through

It's gonna take a lot of revision

An' a different point of view

But there's one thing for certain

We're in the right, an' those on the right are in the wrong

You can fool some of the people some of the time

But you can't fool us all for long.

It's gonna be a new inspiration

That'll win the day

It's gonna sweep across this nation

We gotta find a way

So to all you among us in your ivory towers

Casting shadows over this land

You'd better pack your deterrents and nuclear powers

And leave the sunlight in safer hands.

It's gonna be a new age of sweetness and light

That's coming

As pure as the snow that's driven

And from he that hath shall be taken away

And to he that hath not shall be given.

INSTRUMENTAL

It's gonna be a new age of sweetness and light that's coming

As pure as the snow that's driven

And from he that hath shall be taken away

And to he that hath not shall be given.

When life gets weary

And no matter how hard you try

You cannot make ends meet

Don't be down hearted

Do not cry

Remember we on the left shall speak.

There'll be blue birds over

The white cliffs of Dover

Tomorrow just you wait and see

(and fade).
