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

Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why
C'mon people now
Smile on your brother

Ev'rybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go
And we shall surely pass

When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass

C'mon people now
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try to love one another right now

If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen)
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'rybody get together
Try to love one another right now
