Lyrics
our heads all full of worries, we try to understand
problems of the world on our shoulders
yet, underneath these headlines, beyond the bitter faces
there's a light of a warm world waiting
let's find a beach near golden sand,
and slip this sorrow from our hands,
and whistle while our ocean waves come in
let's spread our peace around this town
and gather all the people 'round
let's celebrate this life
it's gray along the oceans, where blue sky was
everywhere an empty horizon
still, this water's moving, reaching for shore
waiting for the hand to hold it
let's find a beach near golden sand,
and slip this sorrow from our hands,
and whistle while our ocean waves come in
let's spread our peace around this town
and gather all the people 'round
let's celebrate this life
SOLO
As children we wondered, as we stared at those stars
'who will create all our fortunes?
who will we hold when this small world gets cold
and our little hearts and our faces grow old?
will we believe that all that we need
is a circle of light shining around us?'
let's find a beach near golden sand,
and slip this sorrow from our hands,
and whistle while our ocean waves come in
let's spread our peace around this town
and gather all the people 'round
let's celebrate this life
let's find a beach near golden sand,
and slip this sorrow from our hands,
and whistle while our ocean waves come in
let's spread our peace around this town
and gather all the people 'round
let's celebrate this life
let's celebrate this life
let's celebrate this life
let's celebrate this life
let's celebrate this life
