“All Together Now” was inspired by the events surrounding the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, and was written and recorded by the band while all isolated in their homes. All proceeds from the song are pledged to be donated to Partners in Health.
[Intro]
It's all still the same
Everything's untouched but forever changed
Oh, we're all still the same
Everything's untouched but forever changed
[Verse 1]
All those colors we painted yesterday
They look so different now
And all those harmonies we sang yesterday
All sound so different somehow
Though they're all still the same
Everything's untouched but forever changed
[Chorus]
Everywhere on earth, every single soul, everyone there is, all together now
And everyone alone all together on the precipice
All that mattered then, all that matters now, all that matters after the world shuts down
All of it dissolved all together in the chrysalis
Together in the chrysalis
[Verse 2]
Nothing changes until one day it does then there's no going back
Our best selves and our worst selves live in that moment there
Sparring over who draws the new maps
And though their lines
May look the same
Everything depends on who wins that game
[Chorus]
Everywhere on earth, every single soul, everyone there is, all together now
And everyone alone all together on the precipice
All that mattered then, all that matters now, all that matters after the world shuts down
All of it dissolved all together in the chrysalis
Together in the chrysalis
[Bridge]
And now the impossible's happenin'
A million knots that we were told can't be untied
Would always hold all unraveling
And even while the heavens fall
The fog's still wrapped around us all
And when it's snuffed out every last star
We'll see just who we are
Just who we are
[Outro]
All together now, all together now, all together alone in the chrysalis
(We're) all together now, all together now, all together alone in the chrysalis
(We're) all together now, all together now, all together alone in the chrysalis
All together now, all together now, all together alone in the chrysalis
(We're) all together now, all together now, all together alone in the chrysalis
All together now, all together now, all together alone in the chrysalis
(We're) all together now, all together now, all together alone in the chrysalis
We're all together now, we're all together alone
