Together

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Seems like everywhere I go People stop and stare at me And does it seem to you as though I was just not meant to be? But if the man thought me equal Life could be so grand Everybody get together with the people And walk together hand in hand (Alright) So why is every song I sing In a minor key? And do you realize that I'm after all these years I'm still not free (Oh) [Chorus] But if we all go out and shout out loud Someday we're gonna be together (Together, together) Mmm (Ooh), hmm We're gonna be together (Together, together) Mmm, yeah yeah, oh (Ooh) [Verse 2] All I woulda had to do was to change my face To be accepted as a brother And just a few years ago we cried so hard (Yeah) We was wishin' that we had been born white And maybe a minute ago I tried so hard To show you that this is just not right (No, no) You've got to be proud Of whatever you may be, yeah And I'll say it out loud I cannot go on living Without being proud of me [Verse 3] Black people everywhere near and far We've just got to agree That unless you're respected For who and what you are (Yeah) How can you consider yourself free? But oh, I'm proud Oh, I'm black and I'm proud (Good God) But does this mean that I'm down forever? (Mmm mmm) [Chorus] But if we all go out and shout out loud Someday, someday, someday We're gonna be together (Together, together) Oh ho, we're gonna be together We're gonna be together (Together, together) Mmm, pick it up now [Outro] And we're gonna be (Everybody help me out) We're gonna be (Let's get a little togetherness in the audience right about now) We're gonna be (We're gonna be together someday) We're gonna be (Hey, hey, hey, we're gonna be together) We're gonna be (Ooh) We're gonna be (Yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm hmm) We're gonna be (Woah) We're gonna be (We're gonna be together someday, yeah) We're gonna be (If we're gonna be together let me hear you say yeah) We're gonna be (Hey, we're gonna be, yeah, yeah, yeah) We're gonna be (Oh, we're gonna be, we're gonna be together) We're gonna be We're gonna be (Do you believe we're gonna be together?) We're gonna be (Can you testify that we're gonna be together?) We're gonna be (Alright, oh yeah, yeah, yeah) We're gonna be (We're gonna be together) We're gonna be (Mmm) We're gonna be together
