YEAR OF DECISION
(Kenny Gamble / Leon Huff)


The Three Degrees - 1973





Yes, this is the year
To make your decision
You gotta get it together
Yes, this is the year
To open up your mind

If you've been holding back, yeah, kind o' slack
Now's the time to get the things you need
There ain't no reason why you should be shy
People have died to set you free

Oh, we need every one to succeed
Everybody to succeed, everybody
We're just like souls in an army
Hey, come on and join us, please
Come on, come on and join us please

Yes this is the year, come on
To make your decision
We gotta get it together
Yes this is the year, come on
To open up your mind

If you've strong out all the jokes, yeah
You better make sure that you leave the bad stuff alone
Whatever you wanna do, think it over good
'Cause the choice is up to you

Oh, we need every one to succeed
Everybody to succeed, we need everybody
We're just like souls in an army
Come on and join us please
Come on, come on and join us please

Yes, this is the year, come on
To make your decision
You gotta get it together
Yes, this is the year, come on
To open up your mind

Yes, this is the year, come on
To make your decision
You gotta get it together
Yes, this is the year

(Instrumental Break)

Yes, this is the year, come on
To make your decision
You gotta get it together
Yes, this is the year, come on
To open up your mind

Yes, this is the year, come on
To make your decision
You gotta get it together
Yes, this is the year, come on
To open up your mind
Open up, open up your mind

Yes, this is the year, come on
To make your decision
We gotta get it together
Yes, this is the year, come on
To open up your mind
Open up, open up your mind

Yes, this is the year ........ FADE
