Friendship train


Calling out to everyone across the nation
Said the world today is in a desperate situation
Stealing, burning, fighting, killing
Nothing but corruption
It look like mankind in on the eve of destruction
Oh yes it is now people let me tell you now
We've got to learn to live with each other
No matter what the race, creed or colorI just got to tell you what the world needs now
Is love and understanding get aboard the friendship train
Everybody shake a hand make a friend now
Listen to us now, we're doing our thing
On the friendship train

We've got to start today to make tomorrow
A brighter day for our children
Oh calm down people now we can do it
I can prove it but only if our hearts are willing
So get aboard the friendship train
Everybody, shake a hand, shake a hand
Yes I'm talking about the friendship train
Get on board shake a hand, make a friend
It don't matter what you look likePeople or who you are
If your heart is in the right place
In the right place
Talking about the right place
You're welcome aboard now

This train stands for justice,
This train stands for freedom
This train stands for harmony and peace
This train stands for love
Come on get on the friendship train
People listen to me now
Harmony is the key my sisters and brothers
Oh yes it is I say
Harmony is the key my sisters and brothers
People can't wait cause another day might be too late
Come on get on the friendship train

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Temptations are an American vocal group formed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1960. Considered one of the most influential soul groups of all time, they made a significant contribution to the development of the Motown Sound, a fusion of R and B, pop, and psychedelic rock. Their distinctive style is characterized by impeccable vocal harmonies, synchronized choreography, and lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and hope. Among the Temptations' most celebrated songs are "My Girl", "Ain't Too Proud to Beg", "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone". The group has sold over 100 million records worldwide, earning numerous awards and accolades, including a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. The original lineup included Otis Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin, and David Ruffin. Over the years, the band has seen several member rotations, but Otis Williams remained the only original member until his passing in 2023.
