Album: We're All In This Together
Lyrics:
(Chorus:)
We’re all in this together - It’s time for us to start
We can make it better, when everyone does their part
We’re all in this together - We’ve only just begun
When we all work together, it’s a lot more fun
(Verse 1:)
There’s so many kinds of people, and so many ways to think
But we all need clean air to breath, and safe, fresh water to drink
We all rely on Mother Earth, we need her to survive
If we don’t protect this planet, how will we stay alive?
(Chorus)
(Verse 2:)
The wide expanse of oceans - the mountains soaring high
The deep and tranquil forests - the brilliant, sunlit sky
Instead of sitting alone in your room - staring at a screen
Go out and see what there is to do, to keep our planet green
(Chorus)
(Rap:)
Yeah - All in together now
It’s something special now
Birds of feather, we weather - any weather
Just to make sure that the world gets better
‘Cause as a team, we beam like bright lights
U.N.I.T.Y - see, we can change the times
Just as long as we aware and we catch the signs
When we share the information, our strength multiplies
It’s great to create - Let’s all move as one
Spread the message be the helpers - We can make life fun - Together….! (Echo)
(Verse 3:)
Don’t just sit on the sidelines - it’s time to get in the game
If we don’t try to do our part, we’ve only ourselves to blame
Some jobs, they may be too big - for just one person to do
but when we work together, we can see it through.
(Chorus)
(repeat last line)
