Hoist up the Banner

Song flew through the open window
Soundin' like heaven to me
Suddenly there, I heard the angels singin'
Singin' in harmony
Hoist up the banner, humanity!
Hoist up the banner of love!
Where did it come from, I can’t say
Somewhere where the land is green
Singin' it soothes my soul today
'Cause it’s later than it seems
So here it is, the way it arrived
From a place where we all come from
A song to help us carry on
Hoist up the banner, humanity!
Hoist up the banner of love!
We got work to do, it’s healin' time
Only one way to get the job done
I don’t think of myself as a flag-waver
An' here I am, wavin' this one
Hoist up the banner, humanity!
Hoist up the banner of love!
