Love is but a song we sing Fears' the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the dove is on the wing And you may not know why Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together And try to love one another right now Some may come and some may go He will 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 Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody 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 All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at your command Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now I said, come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Right now, right now
