Dry your eyes and take your song out
It's a newborn afternoon
And if you can't recall the singer

You can still recall the tune

Dry your eyes and play it slowly

Like you're marching off to war
Sing it like you know he'd want it
Like we sang it once before


And from the center of the circle
To the midst of the waiting crowd

If it ever be forgotten
Sing it long and sing it loud
And come dry your eyes


And it taught us more about giving
Than we ever cared to know

But we came to find the secret
And we never let it go


And it was more than being holy
Oh it was less than being free
And if you can't recall the reason

Can you hear the people sing

Right through the lightning and the thunder

To the dark side of the moon
To that distant falling angel
That descended much too soon

And come dry your eyes

Come dry your eyes
