Oldies Song of the Day: "Oooh Child" by the Five Stairsteps

Does anybody remember this song? I believe it came out in the late 60's / early 70's. I love this song and never get tired of it. It's one of those songs that never grows old.

Ooh Child

Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get brighter
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get brighter

Some day, yeah
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter

Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna be easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get brighter
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna be easier
Ooh-oo child Things'll get brighter

Some day, yeah
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter

Some day, yeah
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter

Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get brighter
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get brighter
Right now, right now
(you just wait and see how things are gonna be)

I LOVE this song, thanks for posting thumbs up!

I`ve heard Nina Simone`s version, and i think that one is better than the original music

A truly beautiful song with a positive message. We do not have enough of those these days.

Thanks for reminding me of this song.....I needed that today!
