Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody now is doing their thing
Everything is now so do it if you can
If you wanna have a groovy time
Grab your partner step on the line
This new generation
We got a new generation
Don’t matter about race creed or color
Get on to telling of one another
All you sisters and all you brothers
Do your own thing, you don’t need no other
This new generation
This new generation
Talkin’ bout love
Talkin’ bout lovin'
Don’t be late
Got to do your thing
Talkin’ bout lovin
We got to love in
A little time for lovin’
Somebody done told me to love my mama
My mama told me you gotta take care of your brother
Somebody said surely, surely, surely
Sure gonna be right
It’s gonna be a brand new day
