Lyrics:

Yeah

Won't you try to be loving, Ceceil
Won't you try to be loving, Ceceil
Won't you try to be loving, Ceceil
Won't you try to be loving, come here

When will war be the answer to what you're looking for?
I couldn't tell you, no
It's deja-vu once again, it's the same old thing
Stop fussing and fighting, yeah

The truth is, we're hurting, can't you see it's not working
For me or you, for me or you
It's getting hard to unwind in these modern times
You've got to free your mind, you've got to free your mind

Won't you try to be loving, Ceceil, hey
Won't you try to be loving, Ceceil, yeah, come
Won't you try to be loving, Ceceil, do it
Now, won't you try to be loving, come here

Now, my friend the dove, oh, freed from its cage
Come on and celebrate, let's have a holiday
I treat you good and you treat me right
Coming out of the darkness, getting into the light

Now, I leave my pride and your loftiness
Said we take it off until there's nothing left
Well, I present my face to your inner and outer space
You don't have to hide your face, it's not a human disgrace

Won't you try to be loving

Still, we can be together sometime and by the weather
Bathing on the Caribbean Sea
Your peace and harmony, that's what you mean to me
And that's the way we should be

No, don't forget your past but we're back at last
And now it's what we lead
So much to live for, no need to die and kill for
What I believe

Hey, won't you try to be loving, Ceceil, yeah, come on now
Come on and try to be loving, come here
