Get Together Lyrics
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
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Some may come and some may 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
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody 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
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Right now
Right now
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
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
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
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
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
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

I feel they are saying get it together now ,before The Lord returns. The verse (until the one who left us here returns for us at last)! This has to be Jesus. They mention about how we are just a vapor. Here for a little while and then vanish away. But not gone ,just back to God , who will judge us. Read James 4:14. James was Jesus half brother. How cool is that. Cooler than this song, but of all the 60's songs this one is the coolest. Later
Or when the aliens come back for us.

I am an old hippie. It is my favorite song...years later it still tells you to love one another...maybe it is the answer.
@valeriemom Right on, brother. Sixty-one yr-old hippie me! Never gonna give it up, they'll have to shoot me to make me stop.

How relevant this song is for today!
It's a call for peace and brotherhood of all people in the late 60s. Hippie songs as they're jknown now.

I see the listing of guys who supposedly wrote this song and I believe it is incorrect - in David Crosby's biography it is stated that Dino Valenti of Quicksilver Messenger Service wrote this while he was a solo artist - he wrote it under the pseudonym of Chet Powers, but sold away the rights to the song becuz he was hard up for cash for one reason or another
Our group sang this tune. United us in spirit.
Jeez how is there only 4 comments on this song...
