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
Every-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
Every-body get together
Try to love one another right now
