We're All in This Together Now

Your daddy was a Baptist and your mama loved to dance

You were born in Memphis but you live in Paris, France

You may lose your faith in everything

Or you may take a solemn vow

But from this day on - my friends and foe

We're all in this together now

You may love the carousel or the silence of the trees

You may be the last one standing or the queen of all you see

Some rest easy on the mountain

And some sweat behind the plow

But make no mistake for heaven's sake

We're all in this together now

Night will fall, the wind will howl

All those things we love so well

Empires crumble while we sleep

But you must have a story to tell

Wake up now - I want to hear it

Wake up now

I love you like a brother and I don't know you at all

I heard your voice across the wire - I never thought you'd call

So hold tight the sword, hold fast the sail

Cause we might be taken down

It's a lonely world but it's our only world

And we're all in this together now
