This arrangement of Love Life pays homage to and features lyrics from One Of The People by Adamski, fused with my own.

Listen to Love Life by Richard Charles Stevens (One Of The People Suite)

love life
embrace it
seems unkind to waste it
can fire our desire
providing we taste it
reach for the spire
you might find
you make it
leap blind
from the steeple
take flight
(take flight)

anywhere i find myself
on my own with no one else
listening to the same old song
all night long

anytime i find myself
wrestling with my mental health
bout this or that or something else
right or wrong

i’ve got to just remember
i am one of the people
one of the people
one of the people
one of the people
(embrace it)

one of the people
one of the people
one of the people
one of the people
(embrace it)

from sheer drops
our teardrops
can quench engineered crops
refurbishing earth
to concur souvenir shop
should a pin drop
within earshot
there’s a slingshot on hand
dead eye and a clear shot
to the quick stop
of the damned
underhand they may be
but with that comes a great need
to take heed
of brave deeds
through pit stops unplanned
fall back
on all that we capture
from gridlock and lift off
equipped to spread wings beyond span

love life
embrace it
live each dream
and chase it
seek the red cedar tree
fearlessly shake it
reach for the skyrise
you might find
you make it
leap blind
from the steeple
take flight
(take flight)

do you remember that old song
you used to sing when you were young
do you remember all the words
and the drums

it did so much to you
you knew just what you had to do
just like one of the chosen do
to be one

you’ve got to just remember
you are one of the people
(embrace it)
one of the people
(embrace it)
one of the people
(embrace it)
one of the people
(embrace it)

people
anywhere i find myself
people
on my own with no one else
people
listening to the same old song
people
all night long

to have lost
we had to love
we had to taste
we had to touch
we had to laugh
we had to cry
we had to live
we had to die
we had to feel with every sense revealed by trusting just enough
to know that what we felt was surely love

love life
embrace it
seems ill-timed to waste it
can fire our desire
providing we taste it
reach higher than spire
and you might find
you make it
leap blind
from the steeple
take flight
(take flight)

people
anywhere i find myself
people
on my own with no one else
people
listening to the same old song
people
all night long

people
(embrace it)
anywhere i find myself
people
(embrace it)
on my own with no one else
people
(embrace it)
listening to the same old song
people
(embrace it)
all night long

love life
embrace it
seems unkind to waste it
can fire our desire
providing we taste it
reach for the spire
you might find
you make it
leap blind
from the steeple
take flight

leap blind
from the steeple
take flight
(repeat to fade)
