Love is but the song we sing
Fear the way we die
It can make the mountains ring
Make the angels cry
So the bird is on the wind
You may not know why
Hey people now, smile on your brother
Let me see you get together
And love one another
Some may come and some may go
We will surely pass
Will the one who left us here
Return for us at last?
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
Hey people now, smile on your brother
Let me see you get together
And love one another
If you hear the song I'm singing
You will understand
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's at your command
Hey people now, smile on your brother
Let me see you get together
And love one another
Fear the way we die
It can make the mountains ring
Make the angels cry
So the bird is on the wind
You may not know why
Hey people now, smile on your brother
Let me see you get together
And love one another
Some may come and some may go
We will surely pass
Will the one who left us here
Return for us at last?
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
Hey people now, smile on your brother
Let me see you get together
And love one another
If you hear the song I'm singing
You will understand
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's at your command
Hey people now, smile on your brother
Let me see you get together
And love one another
