Lyrics

(Spoken) I know a young warrior named Bobby Smith He's gonna be 4 years old on his next birthday He happened to be with Brian and I when we wrote this song It's about new life and new spirit, new feelings We asked Bobby, "Bobby, what should we call this song?" And he said, "Oh that's pretty, that's my song." That was very appropriate, this song for new life should be about Bobby This is 'A Song for Bobby Smith' (Sung) Ain't you been there? Ain't you goin? Can't you taste your ideas growin? We are soldiers Soldiers of a new day Can't you see it? Can't you feel it in your heart? Ain't you been there and ain't you goin To a place where friendship's flowin? We are brothers Brothers and sisters in spirit Can't you see it? Yeah, can't you feel it in your heart? Ain't you been there? Ain't you goin? Can't you take this love I'm showin? Got to be you and me You and me together Can't you see it? Can't you feel it in your heart?
