Yarabata Ridge – The Gathering lyrics

We meet at eight out of town
The thing we have cannot be found
The time we meet is early spring
Just in time for the gathering

Let's get together
People all join in
If we don't get it right
It will be a sin
We are the people
We can have our say
We will use our voice
That is our democratic sway

Come together one and all
You have to be here for the call
You don't have to say what you will bring
Just be here for the gathering

Let's get together
People all join in
If we don't get it right
It will be a sin
We are the people
We can have our say
We will use our voice
That is our democratic way

The gathering is a special time
When we meet we share a line
We don't explain how we feel
We know we have a special deal

Let's get together
People all join in
If we don't get it right
It will be a sin
We are the people
We can have our say
We will use our voice
That is our democratic way

Some; people think it is a secret
But the gathering is free
We don't bear any grudges
Just you all come along and see

Let's getr together
People all join in
If we don't get it right
It will be a sin
We are the people
We can have our say
We will use our voice
That is our democratic way

Gather by the river Gather by the coast
Gather by the country Gather pretty close
Gather by plane Gather by car
Gather by ship Stay really close

You got to see the storm
That tends to blow your mind
We all have fantasies
It just all takes a bit of time

Let's get together
People all join in
If we don't get it right
It will be a sin
We are the people
We can have our say
We will use our voice
That is our democratic way
