The Gathering Lyrics

We meet at eight out of town

The thing we have cannot be found

The time we meet is early spring

Just in time for the gathering

Let's get together

People all join in

If we don't get it right

It will be a sin

We are the people

We can have our say

We will use our voice

That is our democratic sway

Come together one and all

You have to be here for the call

You don't have to say what you will bring

Just be here for the gathering

Let's get together

People all join in

If we don't get it right

It will be a sin

We are the people

We can have our say

We will use our voice

That is our democratic way

The gathering is a special time

When we meet we share a line

We don't explain how we feel

We know we have a special deal

Let's get together

People all join in

If we don't get it right

It will be a sin

We are the people

We can have our say

We will use our voice

That is our democratic way

Some; people think it is a secret

But the gathering is free

We don't bear any grudges

Just you all come along and see

Let's getr together

People all join in

If we don't get it right

It will be a sin

We are the people

We can have our say

We will use our voice

That is our democratic way

Gather by the river Gather by the coast

Gather by the country Gather pretty close

Gather by plane Gather by car

Gather by ship Stay really close

You got to see the storm

That tends to blow your mind

We all have fantasies

It just all takes a bit of time

Let's get together

People all join in

If we don't get it right

It will be a sin

We are the people

We can have our say

We will use our voice

That is our democratic way
