Come Together Now
[Verse 1]
There is hurt, there is trouble
There are tears on the ground
From the ash and the rubble
There's a cry ringing out
You've been shaken by love
You've been shattered by fear
Give me eyes that can see it
Give me ears that can hear
When you're hurt, I am hurting
When you're bleeding, I bleed
When you cry, I am crying
I am down on my knees
When there's nothing left standing
And there's no reason why
Let's go walking on the water
'Til we reach the other side

[Chorus]
Stretch your arms
And help the brokenhearted
Say a prayer that change will come
We will fight
For the children who are hurting
Let's stand as one and come together now
[Verse 2]
Be the light in the darkness
Be the peace in the storm
Be a shelter for someone
When the rain starts to fall
Be the hands that bring healing
And the hands that provide
Let's go walking on the water
'Til we reach the other side

[Chorus]
Stretch your arms
And help the brokenhearted
Say a prayer that change will come
We will fight
For the children who are hurting
Let's stand as one and come together now

[Bridge]
It won't be long
Keep holdin' on now
Hold your head high
Hold your head high
Keep standing strong
You're not alone now
Hold your head high
Hold your head high
[Chorus]
Stretch your arms
And help the brokenhearted
Say a prayer that change will come
(Change will come, yes it will)
We will fight
(Yes we will)
For the children who are hurting
Let's stand as one and come together now
Stretch your arms
(Help the brokenhearted)
And help the brokenhearted
Say a prayer that change will come
(Keep on fighting, keep on fighting)
We will fight
For the children who are hurting
Let's stand as one and come together now

[Outro]
Come together now, come together now
Let's stand as one and come together
Now
