Eric Bibb Hoist Up The Banner Lyrics

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!
Hoist up the banner, humanity!
Hoist up the banner of love!

Song flew through the open window
Soundin' like heaven to me
