[Intro]
We should be love, you know?
You know, some people just get fooled
Some people get schooled
Some people get outlawed, you know?
But in front of the Almighty God, we're all the same
We're all God's children
And we are the parents, so we must be the fathers
And mothers of the children that's growin' up
So we have a brand new love generation
Love generation, come on
[Chorus]
Bum-bam, ba-ba-bum, bam, ba-ba-bum, bam
Ba-ba-bum, ba-bam
Ba-ba-bum, bam, ba-ba-bum, bam, ba-ba-bum, bam

Ba-ba-bum, ba-bam
[Interlude]
From Jamaica to the world
It's just love, it's just love – eh!
[Verse 1]
Why must the children play in the streets?
Broken hearts and faded dreams
Peace on Earth to everyone that you meet
Don't you worry, it could be so sweet
Just look to the rainbow, you will see
The Sun will shine 'til eternity
I've got so much love in my heart
No one can tear it apart, yeah
[Chorus]
Be the love generation
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Be the love generation
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon – eh!
Be the love generation
Oh, yeah-ah!
Be the love generation – eh!

[Verse 3]
This love, that we're always searching for
Yet still, we don't wanna give up our selfish thoughts
Too much kids in the streets, Lord knows it ain't so sweet
Gotta give hope, gotta give peace
Got to seek, this love that's so, so meek
This love, this love so meek
[Verse 4]
Gotta give the children, a future, some kind of hope
Can't leave them out in the cold fighting for riches, getting re-owed
I wanna see a sunshine, wanna see what's on, your mind
We gotta give hope, gotta believe, we gotta receive the love
We got to give them, we got to give them
We got to give them that love, yeah
We got to give them, we got to live it
Gotta live that love, ha, ha
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?
[Bridge]
Don't get hooked up on what you see (Be the love generation)
'Cause the greatest thing is spirituality (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, give it up (Be the love generation)
C'mon, give it up
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon – eh!
