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 and sweet as
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 messiahs to come

don't sit around and waste this chance, to see it!"

love will overcome

if this love will make us men
love will draw us in
to take our fear away


LOVE
LOVE

LOVE
LOVE, hey, yeah


love, this day now, this day that I was so
sweetly sung, I know, I know that
love will overcome


love will overcome
if this love will make us men

love will draw us in
to take our fear away, wipe our tears away
love!

and all my friends are here
in the city I sing my song
in the face of the hooker, the soldier, the swine

I found it, I found it, I found love!!!!!

love will, love will, love will,

overcome
over come
