  • My, my, my mother was a sunshine soldier
    Every day was a dream come true
    She said that we were blessed by the breath deep inside us
    She could make the colors in the sky turn blue

    She said, "Honey, what you gonna do today?
    You're second guessing every single move you make
    You're definitely gonna have some very hard days
    But I'll be right here for you"
    And she said "Before I go
    There is one thing you should know"

    "I give love to all of my people
    All of my people need love, I give some
    I give love to all of my people
    All of my people need love, I give some
    I give love to all of my people
    All of my people need love, I give some
    'Cause in the end, the love we take's
    Got nothing on the love we make
    So give love
    So give love
    So give love"

    She, she said, "You're gonna be a light in a cold world
    You got extra love pumping up your veins"
    To my people feeling down and my people feeling empty
    I got so much of this love, I gotta give it away

    Hey, honey, what you gonna do today?
    You're second guessing every single move you make
    You're definitely gonna have some very hard days
    But I'll be right here for you"
    And she said "Before I go
    There is one thing you should know

    "I give love to all of my people
    All of my people need love, I give some
    I give love to all of my people
    All of my people need love, I give some
    I give love to all of my people
    All of my people need love, I give some
    'Cause in the end, the love we take's
    Got nothing on the love we make
    So give love (Yuh)
    So give love (Andy, you know I got you)

    Put this on repeat, it's so elementary
    This that 1 + 1 is 2, you sprinkle love, that equal 3
    Maybe that's the remedy, blind man, he can even see
    If you wanna cook it up, well, then I know the recipe
    It's the L-O-V-E, (ah) now you see me (right)
    Down the avenue, they hate I'm throwing the peace sign
    That my own reply, you know I don't even try
    Yeah, I give that love, I get that love, I know the reason why

    "I give love to all of my people
    All of my people need love, I give some
    I give love to all of my people
    All of my people need love, I give some
    I give love to all of my people
    All of my people need love, I give some
    'Cause in the end, the love we take's
    Got nothing on the love we make
    So give love
    So give love
    So give love Writer/s: Andrew Charles Grammer, Dave R Bassett, Gamal Lewis, Jeffrey David Goldford, Stefan Litrownik
