And I thought it fit with our troubled times. And since I was 4 I have loved this song. I remember bouncing around the house singing it to the top of my little lungs.

Great times, great memories and a great song.

THANK YOU RASMASANDRA for this great song from your Blue Quiz!

Now, here are the lyrics paired with some blue and happy photos.

Enjoy the weekend, stay inside, and stay safe to all!

#1 Look over yonder…

Look over yonder

What do you see?

The sun is a-risin'

Most definitely

A new day is comin', whoo-hoo

People are changin'

Ain't it beautiful, whoo-hoo

Crystal blue persuasion

Better get ready

Gonna see the light

Love, love is the answer, whoo-hoo

And that's all right

So don't you give up now, whoo-hoo

It's so easy to find

Just look to your soul (Look to your soul)

And open your mind

Crystal blue persuasion

Mm-hmm

It's a new vibration

Crystal blue persuasion

Crystal

Blue persuasion

Maybe tomorrow

When he looks down

On every green field, whoo-hoo

And every town

All of his children

In every nation

There'll be peace and good

Brotherhood

Crystal blue persuasion

Yeah

  I refuse to believe it was about that, although it was a good arguement.
  It was love, rainbows n butterflies Doc! lol

        lol I guess most of them in those times were right. Everything had double meanings hidden things in them. Glad I didn’t know about them. haha

      i remember sitting in a group of teachers (future drug educators) and the media person talking about songs that had those double meanings.
      I remember making the whole class laugh by shouting
      “hey pass the bong!”
