  • There’s a razor ripping through the open sky
    There’s a river overflowing on the rise
    Through the window I see syncopated time
    On the fly, ooh, ooh...

    It’s a high wire act with no net for us all
    And we live with a subtle fear of the trip and fall
    Into someplace that we’ve never been before
    It’s in the shadows, ooh, ooh...

    The system’s broke that much is clear
    And the ugly truth is all too real

    People gotta come together
    Really need to come together

    Seems like the inmates are running the asylum
    And they do things that they say things to divide us
    It’s their tricky way of keeping their control
    Can’t let that happen, ooh, ooh...

    The system’s broke that much is clear
    And the ugly truth is all too real

    People gotta come together
    Really need to come together

    Left, right, in between
    Come together
    Before we lose sight of the dream
    Come together as one
    Oh say can’t you see
    We need to be together
    For the sake of all humanity
    Come together as one

    Together’s where we have our strength and power
    Forever is what’s dangling on the line
    You ain’t safe up there in your ivory tower
    It’s what we need to do to survive
    It’s what we need to do

    Left, right, in between
    Come together
    Before we lose sight of the dream
    Come together as one
    Oh say can’t you see
    We need to be together
    For the sake of all humanity
    Come together as one
    Come together in love
    We can work it out, we can work it out
    Yea, yea, yea... Writer/s: Bruce Sudano
