From the albums DOWN HOME (1970) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974)

It came in early morning, an ordinary day. When all the sleepy citizens were on their merry way
No mortal eye, no voice, no ear escaped the destined plan. When all of us together had to face the purple hand

Let them be, don't bother let them be. It's too early for them to see
Let them go, don't bother, let them go. Come tomorrow, they will know

First there was an ocean, and ordinary street. Then suddenly a mountain began to show its peak
Remember back unto the day when twenty thousand taught. This is it get off your knees
Look what your hands have wrought

Let them be, don't bother let them be. It's too early for them to see
Let them go, don't bother, let them go. Come tomorrow, they will know
