If I held the world in the palm of my hands,
You can bet that this future would go better than as planned.
'Cause if I were the one hanging with the master plan,
I would send you this message to make you understand:
There's one word... love,
And one world.
How can you claim to be the righteous ones?
While you sit around designing better guns?
Or drop the bomb on innocent victims?
If it were up to me you won't be forgiven for your sins.
So, funk get ready to roll,
Funk get ready to roll.
Funk get ready to roll,
Leave my funk alone.
Funk get ready to roll,
We're taking control.
Funk get ready to roll,
Leave our funk alone.
There's one word... love,
And one world.
And we can funk all day,
And we can funk all night.
Funk in every way.
Everything is all right.
If I held the world in the palm of my hands,
You can bet that this future would go better than as planned.
