The World Needs a Melody Lyrics

The world needs a tune that it can hum, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
The world needs a guitar that it can strum
The world needs a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let's all sing together
In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore
Oooh-oooooh together

The world needs a bell that it can chime
The world needs a drum to keep the time
The world needs a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let's all sing together
Gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside
Oooh-oooooh together

The world needs a reason to clap its hands
The world needs a leader for its band
The world needs a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let's all sing together
Give me that old time religion, give me that old time religion
Oooh-oooooh together

In the sweet (Gonna lay down my burden, that old time religion)
In the sweet (Gonna lay down my burden, that old time religion)
In the sweet (Gonna lay down my burden, that old time religion)
Together
