Like to do a thing called 'machine gun'."

POWER TO LOVE
Shoot down some of those airplanes your flyin'
especially the ones that are flyin' too low
shoot down some of those airplanes
especially the ones that your flyin' too low

Come on back to earth my friend
Come on back up with me
We've all been up through the night time baby
Now let's reap the rays of reality

With the power of soul anything is possible
With the power of soul anything is possible

Playing too much with one toy tends to lead
into the foggy
It's so groovy to float around sometimes
Even a jelly fish will tell you that
I said floataion is groovy
And he said and a jelly fish will agree to that

Yeah, but that old jelly’s fish
been floatin' so long and so slack
Lord he ain't got a bone in his jelly back
Floatin' every day and every night
Ridnin' high is a risk
sometimes the wind ain't right

With the power of soul anything is possible
With the power of soul anything is possible
With the power of soul anything is possible
With the power of soul anything is possible

With the power of you anything you wanna do

MESSAGE OF LOVE
