All we need is a brand new song
Of woods and wind and water,
Then the laughter happens by,
It's just the way it ought to be,
Come sing along with me.
Well, the time is nigh and passing by
And we like sheep to slaughter,
We're going so fast and it can't last.
It's not the way it ought to be,
Come sing along with me.
Sing and say with music what you feel within your heart.
Take the time to make a friend and then you've made a start.
And take the time to feel the breeze and see the trees all changing.
Hear the mighty ocean roar the ever rearranging sea.
And sing along with me.
All we need is a brand new song
To sing to the Creator,
Where everyone can sing along.
There couldn't be a greater thing.
Come on along and sing.
All we need to have to live
Forever is before us.
We have so much to sing about,
Come and let the chorus ring.
Come on along and sing.
Sing and say with music what you feel within your heart.
Take the time to make a friend and then you've made a start.
And take the time to feel the breeze and see the trees all changing.
Hear the mighty ocean roar the ever rearranging sea.
And sing along with me.
