A
Love is but the song we sing,
G
And fear's the way we die.
A
You can make the mountains ring,
G
Or make the angels cry.
A
Know the dove is on the wing,
G
And you need not know why.
D E
C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
A D
everybody get together, try and love one
E A G A
another right now.
Some will come and some will go..
And we shall surely pass.
When the one who 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,
everybody get together, try and love one
another right now.
If 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 command..
