[Intro]
Oooh, oooh

[Verse 1]
The moral of a story never meant a lot to me
I've fooled around but can’t get down with most philosophy
Buddha and the Pope sing a lovely note
Take my soul to where it wants to go
Hendrix and Marley always do it right for me

[Chorus]
If I had one religion
It would surely be
A love song in the distance
A soft melody
If I had one request
Granted after I'm gone
I would ask my creator
Turn the radio on
Turn the radio on

[Turnaround]
Oooh, oooh

[Verse 2]
Been to the mountains, and the valleys, seen the holy land too
But ain't no preacher like Aretha when I’m feeling real blue
Buddha and the Pope sing a lovely note
Take my soul to where it wants to go
Lennon and the chief always do it right for me
[Chorus]
If I had one religion
It would surely be
A love song in the distance
A soft melody
If I had one request
Granted after I'm gone
I would ask my creator
Turn the radio on
Turn the radio on

[Outro]
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
