I remember when we were all in it together linking our arms to take on all storms and weather I remember when people weren't all so sour I didn’t realize how many use fear and hate to advance their power Is there still hope Is there still us? Let’s plant seeds that crack open the pavement See flowers rise as the tyrants fall Let’s build bridges over bullies and trolls Imagine a better land without so many tolls I remember when hands reached out with compassion Let’s let people be their authentic selves Let’s put food back on the shelves Let’s turn our hunger into action Though the silence gets louder and shadows may grow There’s a fire inside us that refuses to go Let’s plant seeds that crack open the pavement Intertwine all our branches and roots Let’s build a highway over creeps and holes Forge a thriving land without so many tolls All this hurt piles up to bury us Who knew America was so precarious? The world watches and tries to shake us awake Let’s rise together for our children’s sake All in this together Or so we’d say The world spins fast Let’s build a new day Without so many tolls Without the tolls
