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
