[Verse 1]
Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why

[Chorus]
C'mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another

[Verse 2]
Some may come and some may go
We will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moments sunlight
Fading in the grass

[Chorus]
C'mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
If you hear the song I sing
You will 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

[Chorus]
C'mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
C'mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
