The weight of the world at least That weight would only be increased Beyond what mortal men would dare to bare Even though the weight was great They stormed the beach and then they crashed the gate And after there was music in the air They will need music to uplift It'll be a godsend it'll be a gift And hope and glory to coincide They'll need the strength and warmth and comfort That the music will provide Giving everything they had and then Sometimes you'd have to give again Other times there's nothing so to speak They rose to the occasion it was cause for a celebration And the celebration lasted for a week They will need music to uplift It'll be a godsend it'll be a gift And hope and glory to coincide They'll need the strength and warmth and comfort That the music will provide We will need music to uplift It'll be a godsend it'll be a gift And hope and glory to coincide We'll need the strength and warmth and comfort That the music will provide
