I sing a song about a man He loved the poor, despised the plan He tried so hard to ease their pain Though it turned out to be in vain
Also they say, he loved the child He saw the need in every eye He had the blind a lot to give Something like hope and joy to live
And sing this song of love and understanding Peace and harmony For everyone, for you and me Enjoy this song of love and understanding Or just sympathy For everyone, for you and me For every child and granny
I sing a song about a man Who fought for peace and liberty
I sing a song about a man Who fought for peace and liberty He had no guns, nor used his hands Only his words to understand
And so they say, some hated him And even tried to have him killed And when he died he said the words Remember me and tell the world
And sing this song of love and understanding Peace and harmony For everyone, for you and me And play this song of love and understanding Or just sympathy For everyone, for you and me For every child and granny
