Lyrics
English: Oh, can't you feel it people and can't you hear it people / People come on watching me now / I'm planting the seed / I'm hoping that it grows and you follow my lead / Oh it's so easy, oh try and see, come everybody / Make the sign of the V, you got to raise you voice and sing / Come let me see the sign of the V / What does it mean now the sign of the V / Oh it means peace and love, now that's victory / So come on people, don't let it bring tears to your eyes / And can't you feel it coming oh now folks all your eyes... / I can feel it, I can feel it all around me / Come on people, everybody come on, come on people
