In the [G]morning when you rise,
Do you open up your eyes, see [G]what I see?
Do you [G]see the same things ev'ry [G]day?
Do you [G]think of a way to start the [F]day
Getting things in pro[Em]portion?
Spread the [C]news and help the [D]world go '[F]round.
Have you [G]heard of a time that will help us get it to[G]gether again?
Have you [G]heard of the word that will stop us going [G]wrong?
Well, the [G]time is near and the word you'll [F]hear
When you get things in per[Em]spective.
Spread the [C]news and help the [D]word go [F]round.[Em][E]
There's a [C]time and the [Em]time is now and it's [Am]right for me,
It's [Fm]right for me, and the time is [C]now.
There's a [C]word and the [Em]word is love and it's [Am]right for me,
It's [Fm]right for me, and the word is [C]love.
