We meet at eight out of town The thing we have cannot be found The time we meet is early spring Just in time for the gathering Let's get together People all join in If we don't get it right It will be a sin We are the people We can have our say We will use our voice That is our democratic sway Come together one and all You have to be here for the call You don't have to say what you will bring Just be here for the gathering Let's get together People all join in If we don't get it right It will be a sin We are the people We can have our say We will use our voice That is our democratic way The gathering is a special time When we meet we share a line We don't explain how we feel We know we have a special deal Let's get together People all join in If we don't get it right It will be a sin We are the people We can have our say We will use our voice That is our democratic way Some; people think it is a secret But the gathering is free We don't bear any grudges Just you all come along and see Let's getr together People all join in If we don't get it right It will be a sin We are the people We can have our say We will use our voice That is our democratic way Gather by the river Gather by the coast Gather by the country Gather pretty close Gather by plane Gather by car Gather by ship Stay really close You got to see the storm That tends to blow your mind We all have fantasies It just all takes a bit of time Let's get together People all join in If we don't get it right It will be a sin We are the people We can have our say We will use our voice That is our democratic way
