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 togehter
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 (go lay down my burden) that old time religion
In the sweet (go lay down my burden) that old time religion together together
