  A 
Love is but a song we sing 
  G 
And fear's the way we die 
  A 
You can make the mountains ring 
  G 
Or make the angels cry 
  A 
Though the bird is on the wing 
  G 
And you may not know why 

[Chorus]
  D 
C'mon people now 
  E 
Smile on your brother 
  A 
Ev'rybody get together 

  D             E            A 
Try to love one another right now 

[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
