Listen, listen
I was born to sing this music, yeah
My brother was born to play his guitar, yeah
The sweet melody sent straight down from Heaven
And oh, now you know, now you know who we are
Lord, go out and find your star
Whatever it is, listen, try and find
Find your star, find your star
Find out who you are

Produced within the context of their prolific discography during this era, the track exemplifies their ability to blend soulful vocals with a polished, danceable groove that defined their sound. As a recording from their active period, it reflects the band's continued evolution while maintaining the core elements that made them a dominant force in American music. The song serves as a testament to their craftsmanship, offering a seamless fusion of vocal prowess and instrumental sophistication typical of their work on albums released during the 1970s.
