lyrics

Can’t you hear, somebody’s calling,
Saying who will go and work today,
The fields are ripe and the harvest waiting,
Who will bear these sheaves away?

Chorus:
Here am I, lord send me,
Here am I, lord send me,
Oh here am I, lord send me,
Here am I, oh Lord, send me,

Though I do not have religion
I don’t pray down on my knees,
I believe a song can do some healing
Believe a tune can bring some peace.

Oh I do not live for heaven,
Like the bible tells me to,
I just put my faith in this here music,
Won’t you come help to carry this tune?

[Chorus]

Although we may not sing like angels,
We may often sing outta key,
Each and every note, in our bones rings truly,
And the singing of it sets us free.

We sing our wars must now be over,
We sing this wastefulness must end,
And we sing lets all join in this labor,
And work this earth to mend.
