I'm gatherin' up
My friends today
And those who
Recognize the face
As the vision that changed my mind
From hate to faith
Was as simple as grapes to wine
I'm gatherin' up my friends today
All these hookers and soldiers and swine
And would-be saints
All alone in their rooms that sparkle in their eye
Play a song that they'll come outside
To see if
Love will overcome
If this love will make us men
Love will draw us in
To wipe our tears away
The day that I was so sweetly sung
By the wind and the thunder moved by "someone"
The feelin' of being lived was so strong
The giver became the gift, all one
The day that I was so sweetly sung
The wind seemed to whisper softly "oh son,
Don't wait for the seas to part or Messiah's to come
Don't sit around and waste this change, to see it!"
Love will overcome
If this love will make us men
Love will draw us in
To wipe our tears away
Love
Love
Love
