Hoist Up The banner - Eric Bibb

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!
