The lights gone out in electric city
Getting so hard for us to see
So I put a little oil in my lamp
For us tonight
To light the way for you and me
I want to turn you on
Want to turn you on little children
We've got to turn that lovelight on
So many roads in life
That we could travel little children
Go to school, make sure that you can read the signs
Too much candy gonna rot your teeth!
Can't find love on no dead-end street
Come together rainbow children
And we make ends meet
One kind word, whoh-oo-ah, turn(s) away anger
Two kind words and life could be a little sweeter
Three kind words, ha-ha-ha
A little joy and laughter
Natty tired of the come what may
So I'm standing here today to turn you on
Repeat Chorus - "I want to turn you on…"
I just can't forget all those nice times a yard
Everyone irie even though sometimes life hard
I take a walk with my brethren birdman
We gone a Heywood hall
And we see sister Jacqueline
She a gather firewood, a-she a gather fire…
Repeat Chorus - "I want to turn you on…"
Scat
Turn on you(r) lovelight and mek it shine so bright
Touch everyone inna di dancehall tonight
Turn on you(r) lovelight gathering up the youth(s) dem tonight
Red, gold and green dat a di guiding light
Turn on you(r) lovelight, meet I at di crossroads tonight
Guide you through the thickest fog on the darkest night
Turn on you(r) lovelight gathering up the youth(s) dem tonight
And everygoody get so upful and bright
Heaven gates are open little children
Heaven gates are open little children
What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?
And won't you step right in
Said the brave lion to the little lamb
I will protect you, JAH will protect us
Repeat Chorus - "I want to turn you on…"
