Hello, my friend
  So happy to see you again
  I was so alone
  All by my self
  I just couldn't make it
  
  Have you heard, baby
  What the winds blowing round
  Have you heard, baby
  A whole lot of peoples coming right on down
  
  Communication, yeah
  Is coming on strong
  And don't give a damn, baby
  If your hair is short or long, huh
  
  I said, get out of your grave
  Everybody is dancing in the street
  Do what you know, don't be slow
  You gotta practice what you preach
  'Cause it's time for you and me
  Come to face reality (it sounds like he says "fake reality")
  
  Forget about the past, baby
  Things ain't what they used to be
  Keep on Straight Ahead
  Keep on straight Ahead
  
  Straight Ahead, baby
  Straight Ahead, baby
  
  We got to stand side by side
  We got to stand together and organize
  They say power to the people,
  That's what they're screamin'
  Freedom of the soul
  Pass it on, pass it on to the young and old
  
  You got to tell the children the truth
  They don't need a whole lot of lies
  Because one of these days, baby
  They'll be running things
  So when you give them love
  You better give it right
  Woman and child and man and wife
  The best love to have is the Love Of Life
  
  Pushing on Straight Ahead
  Straigh Ahead, baby
  
  Hello my friend
  It's so good to see you again
  And I've been all by my self
  I don't think I can make it alone
  I gotta keep on pushing ahead
