Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Come on) Everyone we got to get together now
Oh, yeah, love's the only thing that matters anyhow
And the beauty of life can only survive
If we love one another
[Verse 2]
Oh, yeah, yesterday my friends were marchin' out to war
Oh, yeah, listen now, we ain't a-marchin' anymore
No, we ain't gonna fight, only God has the right
To decide who's to live and die
[Verse 3]
He gave us sweet cherry wine
So very fine
We'll drink it right down, pass it all around
So stimulatin', so intoxicatin'
Sweet cherry wine (To open your mind)
And everybody's gonna feel so fine
Drinkin' sweet cherry wine
Yes, they will
[Verse 4]
Watch the mountain turn to dust and blow away
Oh, Lord, you know there's got to be a better way
And the old masquerade is a no soul parade
Marchin' through the ruins of time
To save us
[Verse 5]
He gave us sweet cherry wine
So very fine
We'll drink it right down, pass it all around
So stimulatin', so intoxicatin'
Sweet cherry wine
Everybody's gonna feel so fine
Drinkin' sweet cherry wine
[Verse 6]
Oh, sweet cherry wine
So very fine
We'll drink it right down, pass it all around
So stimulatin', so intoxicatin'
Sweet cherry wine
[Verse 7]
Come on, drink it with your brother
Trust in one another
Yeah, yeah, we need each other
Sweet cherry wine
We'll drink it right down, pass it all around
People don't you know? The cup is runnin' over
[Verse 8]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ah, come on, come on)
(Come on, hey)
