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 (*) Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Some may come and some may go And we 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 Repeat (*) If you hear the song we sing, You will understand You hold the key to love and fear In your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both, you know It's there at your command Repeat (*) Right now Right now
