Kind friends all gathered 'round,
there's something I would say:
That what brings us together here has blessed us all today.
Love has made a circle that holds us all inside.
Where strangers are as family, loneliness can't hide.

I've walked these mountains in the rain

and learned to love the wind;
I've been up before the sunrise to watch the day begin.
I've always knew I'd find you,

though I never did know how;
Like sunshine on a cloudy day stand before me now.

So give yourself to love if love is what you're after;
Open up your hearts to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love.

Love is born in fire; it's planted like a seed.
Love can't give you everything,

but it gives you what you need.
And love comes when you're ready,

love comes when you're afraid;
It'll be your greatest teacher,

the best friend you have made.

So give yourself to love if love is what you're after;
Open up your hearts to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love.

Give yourself to love if love is what you're after;
Open up your hearts to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love
