(Prelude)



Gather everyman, gather everywoman

Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children

When will there be a harvest for all the people

When will there be a harvest for all the world

Harvest For The World



All babies together, everyone a seed

Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need

Love's bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed

When will there be a harvest for the world



A nation planted, so concerned with gain

As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain

And far too many feelin' the strain

When will there be a harvest for the world



Gather everyman, gather everywoman

Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children

Gather everyone, gather all together

Overlooking none, hopin' life gets better for the world



Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace

Those of us who pay the price, come home with the least

Nation after nation, turning into beast

When will there be a harvest for the world
