gil scott-heron & brian jackson - song for bobby smith lyrics

[intro: gil scott-heron]
i know a young warrior named bobby smith. he’s gonna be four years old on his next birthday. he happened to be with brian and me when we wrote this song. it’s about new life and new spirit, new feelings. we asked bobby, “bobby, what should we call this song?” and he said, “oh, that’s pretty. that’s my song.” and that was very appropriate, this song for new life should be about bobby. this is “a song for bobby smith”

[verse 1: gil scott-heron]
ain’t you been there?
ain’t you going?
can’t you taste your ideas growing?
we are soldiers
soldiers of a new day
can’t you see it?
can’t you feel it in your heart?

[verse 2: gil scott-heron]
ain’t you been there and ain’t you going?
to a place where friendship’s flowing?
we are brothers
brothers and sisters in spirit
can’t you see it?
yeah, can’t you feel it in your heart?

[verse 3: gil scott-heron]
ain’t you been there?
ain’t you going?
can’t you take this love i’m showing?
got to be you and me
you and me together
can’t you see it?
can’t you feel it in your heart?
