The Youngbloods - Get Together Lyrics



Love is but the song we sing,
And fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Know the dove is on the wing
And you need not know why
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and 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 moments sunlight
Fading in the grass
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody 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
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Right now
Right now!


A leftover from my hippie days, maybe we had it right all along
peace peace

That reminds me of another song, by the Bellamy Brothers.

"He's an old hippy"

They got overdosed with the power.......

and forgot about the flowers......

wow...what a great line!! Sadly it's true.

But I think MOST of those that are the power elite never were a part of the love and peace movement

They never had the mindset for anything else. Pity.
