Harmony
Artie Kaplan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The time has come let us begin
With all our voices joining in
To sing of love and brotherhood
People doing what they should to
… …help their fellow men be free
And fill this land with harmony
The young and old, the rich, the poor
Making sounds never heard before:
Harmony! Harmony!
Let's all join in harmony
Sing away the hurt and fear
A great new day will soon be here.
Like the shepherd guards his sheep
Watch your children as they sleep
Like the potter turns his clay
Help to shape a better day
and……let us sing a song of love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Love will fill the hearts of men
Peace will come on earth once again.
Harmony! Harmony! Let's all join in harmony
Sing away the hurt and fear
A great new day will soon be here
Harmony! Harmony!
Let's all join in harmony
Sing of love and brotherhood
People doing what they should
Harmony! Harmony! Let's all join in harmony




Sing of love and tell me love´s the answer
. . . to fade

Bellissima canzone cantata in modo fantastico che riporta la nostra mente ed il nostro cuore a rivivere i nostri anni giovanili.

Great song from my first trip back to italy. Looked for it for years. Great memories love the song

@angelo7513

Magnifica canzone, cantata molto bene. Mi infonde ottimismo e fiducia nel futuro.La voce di Kaplan avrebbe dovuto essere ben più valorizzata affidandogli altre hit. Non ha nulla da invidiare a quella di Joe Cocker.

@enniomargaria5549

Un pezzo di gioventù rivive ascoltandola, grande voce...

@snorkeldawg4555

Just saw this on tv in Holland loved it

@rinadifranco3909

la più bella melodia di quel anno!

@AnimeAndFimo

Una delle più belle canzoni degli anni 70, a mio parere. Restò nella Hit Parade italiana per molto tempo. Strepitosa anche la voce di Kaplan. In qualcosa credo abbia ispirato anche il grande Astor Piazzolla per la sua "Years of Solitude", eseguita magistralmente con Gerry Mulligan. Ma non vorrei sembrare offensivo... (Maurizio De Tullio)
