Together
[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
