Hoist Up the banner

Song flew through the open window Sounding like heaven to me Suddenly there, I heard the angels singing Singing in harmony Hoist up the banner, humanity Hoist up the banner of love Where did it come from? I can't say Somewhere where the land is green Singing it soothes my soul today Because it's later than it seems So here it is, the way it arrived From a place where we all come from A song to help us carry on (oh yeah) Hoist up the banner, humanity (come on, come on, come on) Hoist up the banner of love We got work to do, she's healing time Only one way to get the job done I don't think of myself as a flag waver And here I am, waving this one Hoist up the banner, humanity Hoist up the banner of love Hoist up the banner, humanity Hoist up the banner of love Song flew through the open window Sounding like heaven to me
