when we all finally washed ashore
it was clear there was no one else around
we declare a national holiday
a chance to build it from the ground, the ground

so far away from everyone
and everything starts today

lets Keep It Together
can we Keep It Together
singing a new song now
and everything starts today

can we rise *
will we get along all alright
and we missed the storm that sucked the whole world in
the boats went out at night
and the choppers in the sky
they searched but they could find no trace of us

so far away from everyone
and everything starts today

lets Keep It Together
can we Keep It Together
singing a new song now
and everything starts today

the thunder struck, the clouds appeared **
I feel this crew was not prepared
and pretty soon the boats came for us half a million strong
gathered all the fired shells
the will to walk around the shells
but pretty soon the spirit wasn't quite like what it used to be back home

so far away from everyone
and everything starts today

lets Keep It Together
can we Keep It Together
singing a new song now
and everything starts today

lets Keep It Together
can we Keep It Together
singing a new song now
and everything starts today
