Singer:ray stevens

hey

hey now

hey

everybody come along

mmm

yeah

aw

everybody sing my song

yeah

well

sing a little song of love and laughter

sing another happy ever after

everybody got to come and sing along

hey sister

come and follow me

hey brother

let your mind be free

yeah

drop those chains of hate and fear

and let our love ring loud and clear

and hold it high for all the world to see

and let our love be a light unto the people

let our voices unite in a happy song

let our hearts be a haven for the weary heavy-laden

and we lay that devil down where he belong

alright

aw

mister

don't just stand and stare

well

now don't you see your brother lying there?

now

now

there's no time for foolish pride

don't keep your feelings locked inside

now's the time to show you really care

hey

look around you

can't you see? mmm

world's too full of apathy

well

if we're to unlock that door

to peace on earth forevermore

we got to let our love act as the key

let our love be a light unto the people

let our voices unite in a happy song

let our hearts be a haven for the weary heavy-laden

and we lay that devil down where he belong

oh

let our love be a light unto the people

let our voices unite in a happy song

let our hearts be a haven for the weary heavy-laden

and we lay that devil down where he belong
