there's a beauty in the river
there's a beauty in the stream
there's a beauty in the forest at night
when the lonely nightbird screams
and there's so much time for singin'
and so much time for words
there's so much time to listen
and so much time to be heard
 
there's a brighter day round the corner
there's a crown behind the hill
there's a city of light on that foggy mountain top
where the wind is never still
and there's so much time for livin'
and so much time to die
there's so much time for laughin'
and so much time to cry
 
we must all stand in the water
we must find it when we roam
it don't matter what is said
we can wake up from the dead
and roll away the stone
we can roll away the stone
(MANDOLIN DITTY)
 
there's a truth in the eyes of my woman
that no mortal ever knew
she lights my way like the coming of the day
when the sun shines on the dew
and there's so much time for singin'
and so much time for words
there's so much time to listen
and so much time to be heard
 
we must all stand in the water
we must find it when we roam
it don't matter what is said
we can wake up from the dead
and roll away the stone
we can roll away the stone (hallelujah)
 
we must all stand in the water
we must find it when we roam
it don't matter what is said
we can wake up from the dead
and roll away the stone
we can roll away the stone (oh lord)
 
we must all stand in the water
we must find it when we roam
it don't matter what is said
we can wake up from the dead
and roll away the stone
we can roll away the stone
