And they came from the cities

And they come from the towns

They come from the countryside

Come from miles around

And the warm miles around

And the warm wind rising

Makes the banners fly

On the fields of summer

Under bright blue skies



And I heard the rattles

And I heard the drums

And they're raising a racket

Up to kingdom come

And my boy walking

With his head held high

In the children's parade

Under bright blue skies



And the love that I feel inside today

Will never fade away



That Sunday morning

Means the world to me

'Cause it's painting a picture

Of what the world could be

It's the golden ring

The eternal prize

And the sound of singing

Under bright blue skies



And the love that I feel inside today

Will never fade away



And the darkness gathers

And the nighttime falls

And a new moon rising

To the drummers' call

And the stage lights shining

And the mist on the rise

And a sea of dancers

Under night blue skies



And the love that I feel inside today

Will never fade away
