Love is but a song we sing
and fear's the way we die,
You can make the mountains ring
or make the angels cry,
Tho' the bird is on the wing
and you may not know why.
C'mon people, now
smile on your brother,
ev'ry-body get together,
try to love one another right now.
Some will come and some will go
and we shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
returns for us at last
We are but a moments sunlight
fading in the grass.
C'mon people, now
smile on your brother,
ev'ry-body get together,
try to love one another right now.
If you hear the song I sing
you will understand
You hold the key to love and fear
in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both,
it's there at your command.
C'mon people, now
smile on your brother,
ev'ry-body get together,
try to love one another right now.
