Get Together - The Youngbloods


One of my favorite songs ever. So profound! I was reminded of this when a friend posted it on FB tonight.-PB

Get Together - The Youngbloods

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


C'mon people now,
smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together, try to
love one another right now


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


C'mon people now,
smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together, try to
love one another right now
C'mon people now,
smile on your brother
Ev'rybody 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


C'mon people now,
smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together, try to
love one another right now
C'mon people now,
smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together, try to
love one another right now


(I said !)
C'mon people now,
smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together, try to
love one another right now
Right now !
Right now !


"Get Together" by The Youngbloods, 1967
