It's hard to speak your mind these days
They're all trying to shut us up
I'm a-gonna keep on shouting, baby
Tell 'em you're the one I love

You and me got no say
In how this big world runs
They can do their worst, but first
I'm gonna tell 'em you're the one I love

Every morning, baby, I
Face the fire in the sky
Feeling lucky just to be alive
And I have to wonder why
Why it's never enough
To tell 'em you're the one I love

I'm gonna say it to you, talking on the telephone
Whisper low as a mourning dove
Whoever might be listening in
I'm gonna tell 'em you're the one I love

They might try to kill us, child
With their bombs, bullets and guns
They might try, but before I die
I'm gonna tell 'em you're the one I love

Every morning, baby, I
Face the fire in the sky
Feeling lucky just to be alive
And I have to wonder why
Why it's never enough
To tell 'em you're the one I love
