Join Together Lyrics

First Released: 1974

We've got to join together,
let our laughter fill the air
It's time for every race and creed
to throw away their every care
Let sport unite us all as one
in the spirit of the lord above
And let us all remember
The games are for the fostering of peace and love

Once in every four years, the commonwealth becomes
a unit to which everyone, from everywhere belongs
They gather in a place thats named,
This time it's in Christchurch
And getting it on together
Play sport with a feeling that should surround the earth

Chorus
We've got to join together,
let our laughter fill the air
It's time for every race and creed
to throw away their every care
Let sport unite us all as one
in the spirit of the lord above
And let us all remember
The games are for the fostering of peace and love
Here in our own country, the games will now be held
And people black and white will come
from all parts of the world
For the time that they are here
We'll get to know them well
And hope that in the future
Our relationships will tell
Chorus
And We've got to join together,
let our laughter fill the air
It's time for every race and creed
to throw away their every care
Let sport unite us all as one
in the spirit of the lord above
And let us all remember
The games are for the fostering of peace and love

Chorus
And We've got to join together,
let our laughter fill the air
It's time for every race and creed
to throw away their every care
Let sport unite us all as one .....
