In Our Lifetime?

To me you're extra-special-mellow
& the thrill i feel is real & oh, so good
so when you say you love me, i really believe you, girl
for it's what you say & what you really do


oh, you've got to understand, darling
the world is not for long, baby
there's only time for singing & praying
& having a love party
you've got to check out the times, baby
'cause what we need is a love explosion
we don't have no time to waste
got to pray, whoo


baby, your life & mine is groovin' on the danger
Revelations prophecy's nearly fulfilled
we are blessed to experience a changing world
so let's love before our fate is closed & sealed


you've got to understand, baby (we don't have the time to waste)
the world is not for long (got to pray & meditate)
there's only time for singing & praying (we don't have the time to waste)
& having a love party (got to pray & meditate)
go check out the times, baby (we don't have the time to waste)
what we need is a love explosion (got to pray & meditate)
we don't have no time to waste (we don't have the time to waste)
got to pray & meditate (got to pray & meditate)


on the birdies & the bees
& the flowers & the trees
& the fishes in the rivers
& on all the things He give us
on your body in His image
& your power with no limits
on your heart & your soul
& your purpose & your goals
on your reasons & your rhymes
& your seasons & your times
on your family & your Bible
& your knowledge of survival
meditation deep within
that's the way it begins
baby, it begins
baby, it begins (aww yeah!)


To me you're really extra-special-mellow, baby
oh, & the thrill i feel is real & oh, so good, baby
so when you say you love me, i believe you, baby
& it's good to party, fun to party with you, baby
To me you're extra-special-mellow, baby
& the thrill i feel is real & oh, so good, baby
mmm, so when the party's over, let's go create some loving, baby


whoa
no time, baby (got to pray & meditate)
fooling around
let there be peace & love (got to pray & meditate)
aww, baby, come here, come here, come here, darling
ohh, we need love (got to pray & meditate)
love explosion, ohh, darling
mmm, come here, come here, come here, baby (got to pray & meditate)
