Sweetness and Light - Clifford T. Ward

Sweetness and Light Lyrics

When life gets weary
And the going gets tough
And you're feeling the worse for wear
Well don't be down hearted
And don't give up
Remember we on the left still care.It's gonna take some intuition
To see us through
It's gonna take a lot of revision
An' a different point of view
But there's one thing for certain
We're in the right, an' those on the right are in the wrong
You can fool some of the people some of the time
But you can't fool us all for long.It's gonna be a new inspiration
That'll win the day
It's gonna sweep across this nation
We gotta find a way
So to all you among us in your ivory towers
Casting shadows over this land

You'd better pack your deterrents and nuclear powers
And leave the sunlight in safer hands.It's gonna be a new age of sweetness and light
That's coming
As pure as the snow that's driven
And from he that hath shall be taken away
And to he that hath not shall be given.INSTRUMENTALIt's gonna be a new age of sweetness and light that's coming
As pure as the snow that's driven
And from he that hath shall be taken away
And to he that hath not shall be given.When life gets weary
And no matter how hard you try
You cannot make ends meet
Don't be down hearted
Do not cry
Remember we on the left shall speak.There'll be blue birds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow just you wait and see
(and fade).
