I'm gatherin' up my friends, today   And those who recognize, the face   It's the vision that changed my mind, from hate to faith   Was as simple as grapes to wine, the sweetest      I'm gatherin' up my friends, today   All these hookers and soldiers and swine, and would be saints   All alone in a room that sparkle in their eye   Play a song that they'll come outside, to see if      Love will overcome   This love will make us men   Love will draw us in   To wipe our tears away      Day that I was so sweetly sung   By wind and the thunder moved by someone   The feelin' of being lived was so strong   The giver became the gift, all one      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 if"      Love will overcome   (Love will overcome)   If this love will make us men   (Love will make us men)   Love will draw us in   (Love will draw us in)   To take our fear away   Love, oh, love oh yea   (Love)   Love, love, hey, yea   (Love)      Love, this day now   This day that I was so sweetly sung   I know, I know that   Love will overcome      Love will overcome   (Love will overcome)   If this love will make us men   (Love will make us men)   Love will draw us in   (Love will draw us in)   To take our fear away, wipe our tears away   Love!   (Love)   And all my friends are here   (Love)   In the city I sing my song   (Love)   In the face of the hooker, the soldier, the swine   (Love)   I found it, I found it, I found love!   (Love)   Love will, love will, love will   (Love, love)   Overcome   (Love)   Overcome   (Love, love, love, love)   Love
