LoAve is but a song we sing 
AnGd fear's the way we die 
YoAu can make the mountains ring 
Or Gmake the angels cry 
ThAough the bird is on the wing 
AnGd you may not know why 
[Chorus]
C'Dmon people now 
SmEile on your brother 
EvA'rybody get together 
TrDy to love one Eanother right Anow 
[Verse 2]
Some 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 moment's sunlight 
Fading in the grass 
  repeat chorus, twice 
[Verse 3]
If you hear the song I sing 
You will understand (listen!) 
You hold the key to love and fear 
In your trembling hand 
Just one key unlocks them both 
It's there at your command 
repeat chorus, 3 times
... right  now, right now

Love is but a song we sing

And 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

Ev'rybody get together

D E A

Try to love one another right now

Some 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 moment's sunlight

Fading in the grass

You hold the key to love and fear
