C'mon People / And Remember to Be... Cosmically Conscious

Average song rating An enjoyable and idealistic song that unfortunately leaves itself wide open for lampooning. The melody is very compelling and Paul, along with Linda's "oh yeah's", sings with great earnestness and conviction: C'Mon People! We're gonna save the world! How do Paul and Linda propose to do this? Well, that's where this song loses me...Paul never gets any more specific than exhortations to "Let the fun begin", "Call all the minstrels", "Form a Party" (I don't think Paul is meaning a political party).

This song fades out...then fades back in with the "Cosmically Conscious" coda. This is a wonderful moment, as the music is wonderfully, painfully reminiscent of the Moody Blues when they were Cosmically Conscious.

Lyrics

Well We're Going To, Yeah We're Going To
Get It Right This Time.
We're Going To Really Going To
Raise It To The Sky.
People Are Ready To Forgive A Few Mistakes
But Let's Get Started, Form A Party
Don't You Know How Long It Takes!

C'mon People Let The Fun Begin.
We've Got A Future And It's Rushing In.
Call All The Minstrels From The Ancient Shrine.
Pass Down The Message That It's Right This Time.

Well I'm Trying To, Yeah I'm Crying To
Lay It On The Line.
We're Trying To, Really Dying To
Get It Right This Time.
So Many Yearning For The Way It's Gonna Be.
Believe It When You See It Happening To You.,
You Know It's Real.

C'mon People Let The World Begin.
We've Got A Future And It's Charging In.
We'll Make The Best Of All We Have, And More.
We'll Do What Never Has Been Done Before.
Oh Yeah.

Well I'm Going To, Yeah I'm Going To
Get It Right This Time.
I'm Going To, Really Going To
Raise It To The Sky.
I Must Admit I May Have Made A Few Mistakes,
But Let's Get Started, From A Party
Don't You Know How Long It Takes!

So C'mon People Let The Fun Begin.
We've Got A Future And It's Rushing In.
Call All The Minstrels From The Ancient Shrine.
Pass Down The Message That It's Right This Time.
Oh Yeah.

C'mon People Let The World Begin.
We've Got A Future And It's Charging In.

Now C'mon People.





C'mon, Be Cosmically Conscious,
Cosmically Conscious With Me.
How To Be Cosmically Conscious,
Cosmically Conscious With Me.

Such A Joy, Joy.
Such A Joy, Joy.
So That Means
Such A Joy
