[Lyric] Love Along the Way (Joe Troop)

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
