Verse 1 (Solo)
In the middle of a revolution, up the street from the institution. Full of promises that nobody's keeping.
A little closer to the edge I'm creeping.
Pre-Chorus
While they're struggling to find a solution, I've come to only one conclusion.
We're standing on a ship that's going down...
(Hook 1: Trio)
People we've got to get it together
Before, before its too late
People, yeah, we got to do something right
We must learn how to love...
Verse 2 (Solo)
Yeah... In the midst of a generation, inheriting a failing nation. You can see it on the T.V., in the paper when they talk about the last caper.
BRIDGE
And I watch as the world gets older, so many people growing colder. And I wonder how much further we go...
Hook 2:
Oh people we've got to get it together
Before, before its too late.
Oh people yeah we got to do something right
We must learn how to love...
Music Break
Hook 3 Adlib:
People, listen to me! I know we can do it. But we got to let God's love inside our hearts, hey!
Get back to the wisdom handed down from long ago. The handbook on how to love people.
Yeah, hey. Get it together before, yeah, before its too late. Oh people yeah, we got to do something right. We must learn how to love...
Yeah umm
Through God we can accomplish anything
We are strong and we are able
And we're ready to love
Ready to love people (get it together)
Yeah umm (do something right)
We must learn how to love
