[Verse 1]
One more depending on a prayer
And we all look away
People pretending everywhere
It's just another day
There's bullets flying through the air
And they still carry on
We watch it happen over there
And then just turn it off
[Chorus]
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
There's no giving in
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win
[Verse 2]
They tell us everything's alright
And we just go along
How can we fall asleep at night
When something's clearly wrong?
When we could feed a starving world
With what we throw away
But all we serve are empty words
That always taste the same
[Chorus]
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
There's no giving in
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
[Bridge]
The right thing to guide us
Is right here inside us
No one can divide us
When the light is nearly gone
But just like a heartbeat
The drumbeat carries on
And the drumbeat carries on
(Just like a heartbeat)
[Chorus]
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
There's no giving in
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win
