the moral of a story never meant a lot to me
I've fooled around but can't get down with most philosophy
Buddha and the Pope sing a lovely note
take my soul to where it wants to go
Hendrix and Marley always do it right for me
if I had one religion
it would surely be
a love song in the distance
a soft melody
if I had one request
granted after I'm gone
I would ask my creator
turn the radio on
been to the mountains
seen the valleys and the holy land too
but ain't no preacher like Aretha when I'm feelin real blue
Buddha and the Pope sing a lovely note
take my soul to where it wants to go
Lennon and the chief always do it right for me
if I had one religion
it would surely be
a love song in the distance
a soft melody
if I had one request
granted after I'm gone
I would ask my creator
turn the radio on
