lyrics

We're gathered here tonight G 

to do a sacred thing D

sing sing sing, sing sing sing C G Am, C G Am

sing sing sing, sing C G Am, G

It says in the Bible somewhere G D

that singing is praying times two C G

and whenever angels show up G D

it always seems that's what they do C G

We're gathered here tonight

to do a sacred thing

sing sing sing, sing sing sing

millions of pilgrims every day

visit Mecca and I've heard it said

when you hear their song 
millions singing all at once

it's a sound you'll never forget

We're gathered here tonight

to do a sacred thing

sing sing sing, sing sing sing

the Navajo and Cherokee

Lakota and Cheyenne

Shawnee, Pawnee, Crow and Cree

all have one common thread

beside the one Great Spirit and the one Mother Earth

they all raise their voices for all that they are worth

We're gathered here tonight

to do a sacred thing

sing sing sing, sing sing sing
