Love is but the song we sing,
And fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Know the dove is on the way
And you need not know whyC'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right nowSome will come and some will go
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 grassC'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right nowIf you hear the song I sing,
You must understand
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your commandC'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Right now
Right now!
