"Universal Mother" lyrics - DON CHERRY

[Instrumental Opening]

Brothers, sisters, fathers, and sons, brothers, daughters
The offspring sounds the chord of change
Love and kindness to flow
Compassion soothes all woes
Universal Mother, let yourself go!

The inside is not, the outside it too
See yourself through
Love and kindness soothes all woes
Universal Mother, let yourself flow!

I'd like to tell y'all a story about my grandmother
She's so sweet we call her "Na-Na"
But her real name is Annie Shelati Marie-Toombs-Fulson-Evans-Green-Nash Nelson
Now my mama's name is Daisy McGee
Yeah, we come from the other side of the tracks, Watts
But the sun shines in Watts, there's smiles in Watts and there's love in Watts
And I think even now the Dahmer's in Watts-the Dahmer's everywhere
What I've discovered from this university of life is karma
Yeah, that's actually it
Trying to work out my karma, in a positive way
But I've learned to accept that negative and tried to turn that into positive
Trying to work out the karma

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo dooooo
Who doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo dooooo

[Instrumental break]

Doo doo doo doo doo doo, oh, honey baby, hooo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, oh, honey baby, hooo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, oh, honey baby, hooo

Oh, honey baby, I want more money, baby
I want more money, baby
Oh, honey baby, I want more money, baby
I want more money, baby
I want more money, baby
Oh, honey baby, I want more money, baby
I want more money, baby
Oh, honey baby, I want more money, baby
I want more money, baby
Oh, honey baby, I want more money, baby
I want more money, baby
I want more money, baby
