Lyrics

For Pete's Sake (Closing Theme)

Love is understandin'
Don't you know that this is true
Love is understandin'
It's in everything we do

In this generation
In this lovin' time
In this generation
We will make the world shine

We were born to love one another
This is somethin', we all need
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're goin' to be
And what we have to be, is free

In this generation
In this lovin' time
In this generation
We will make the world shine

We were born to love one another
This is somethin', we all need
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're goin' to be
And what we have to be, is free

Love is understandin'
We gotta be free
Love is understandin'
We gotta be free

In this generation
Love is understandin'
We gotta be free
We gotta be free
We gotta be free
We gotta be free
