Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river Stood a man And the man he told a story And everybody gathered round And he said love everybody And don't put anybody down And he said Love is here - for all to see Love is here - for all to be Love is here - love is all A friend of those who need one For everyone is equal in this world though he be rich or poor For naked as in birth he's just a man and nothing more He must learn within himself which way to go
If he believes what others say he'll never know For if man would know He must himself be what he knows Love is here - for all to see Love is here - for all to be Love is here - love is all He said pay my price if you think me good If not forbear So they weighed his worth in silver pieces Thirty pieces of silver Thirty pieces of silver Thirty pieces of silver Oh what went wrong To the love that might have been To the love we have within What went wrong
