The world needs a tune that it can hum, hum, hum, hum
The world needs a guitar that it can strum
World seeds a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Now let's all sing together
In the sweet by and by we shall meet
On that beautiful shore together
World needs a bell, it can chime
World needs a drummer to keep the time
World seeds a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Now let's all sing together
Go lay down my burden down
By the riverside together
World needs a reason to clap its hands
World needs a leader for its band
World seeds a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Now let's all sing together
Give us that old time religion
Give us that old time religion together
In the sweet that old time religion
(Go lay down my burden)
In the sweet that old time religion together, together
(Go lay down my burden)
