lyrics

Sermonette

I heard me a Sermonette!
Have you heard it yet?
With that soulful message that you won’t soon forget!
It tells about real true love…
People lost sight of…..
With their sinful livin….
And scornin Heaven above!
It tells you to love one another
And that each man is your brother…
Live right, cause you know that you reap what you sow!
And so, to have no regret….
And to find what you’re missin,
Bow your head and listen to that Sermonette!

Sermonette
I want to tell all you people
That the love that you feel for each other
It has a goal, and a purpose
That has the power to heal the world!

And if you go ahead and act on your power,
And spread the love on your brothers and your sisters,
You’re gonna feel that love all around you
And live in peace and happiness!

This is the way that we can
All change the world for the better..
Just by living happy,
And making each action count for ourselves (through yourself)
Believe it or not, it’s the way into holy,
And you’re gonna feel all of its power
When you heed my humble ramblins
Regarding this sermonette!
