Lyrics
All across this country from the east to the west
Everywhere I go I find the same old mess
Good-hearted people doing the best they can
With a mucked up system that don’t give a damn
But I’ll hold your hand if you hold mine
Life on Earth is borrowed time
And as long as we’re living, we ought to strive
To love along the way
I depend on you, neighbor, what we need is change
Let our heels hit the pavement and the peace flag wave
Clear ‘cross the mountains, o’er the prairies wide
There’s a new day a dawning, but we can’t waste time
I’ll hold your hand if you hold mine
Life on Earth is borrowed time
And as long as we’re living, we ought to strive
To love along the way
Hark, Hallelujah when the banjo rings
I can hear the sacred spirit coming off the strings
Sisters and brothers, won’t you sing with me
‘Cause there ain’t no greater force on earth than unity
I’ll hold your hand if you hold mine
Life on Earth is borrowed time
And as long as we’re living, we ought to strive
To love along the way
