The sun is a-rising yeah most definitely
A new day is coming, people are changing
Ain't it beautiful, crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue persuasion oh yeah, it's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal blue persuasion
Better get ready, gonna see the light
I said love love is the answer and that's alright
So don't you give up now
Better look to your soul, and then open your mind
Oh yeah....
Crystal blue persuasion oh yeah, it's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal blue persuasion
Maybe tomorrow, when he looks down
On every green field, and every little town
All of his children, in every nation
There'll be peace and good oh yeah, brotherhood,
crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue persuasion hey yeah, crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue, blue persuasion
