Save The Day [2020] Lyrics

[Intro: Mariah Carey]
We're all in this together
You're my only hope
And it's too divided, too deep to understand
But if we don't do it, tell me, who will?
Oh, we always say these words that don't mean too much
I wonder, where is the love?
It's curious
The fear still holding us down
One day, will we look up?

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
You got a right to your own opinion
But when it comes to the world we live in
Isn't it time that we start rebuilding
All of the things that have basically crumbled?
We all tend to forget that
We all cease to exist if
Wе all live for ourselves
If nobody bothеrs to find a solution

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day, woah, oh
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
We're all in this together
You're my only hope (Only hope)
And it's too divided, too deep to understand
But if we don't do it, tell me, who will? Yeah
Always say these words that don't mean too much
I wonder, where is the love?
It's curious
That fear still holding us back
One day, will we look up?
It's up to us

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day, woah, oh
(To save the day, to save the day)
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't (Come on, come on)
(Will we?) We won't ever learn to save the day
(Ever learn, no)

[Bridge: Mariah Carey & Lauryn Hill]
La-la-la, la, la-la, la
Woah, la
Woah, la (Ah, ah, ah)
La

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day, woah, oh (To save the day)
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't (And she won't)
We won't ever learn to save the day, woah, oh (I'ma have to learn to save the day)
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't (All God's children, all God's children)
We won't ever learn to save the day (All God's children, to save the day)

[Outro: Mariah Carey]
We gon' learn, we gon' learn
Said we gotta learn
