We Need Each Other Now

And though we stumble from the edge
Our bottle gone, we drank the dregs
Our fingers still cling to the ledge
We need each other now

As borders crumble, land and sea
Bored with ideology
The skinhead and the refugee
We need each other now

Rise up! Rise up you hopeful men
And women who might try again
And with one voice your message send
We need each other now

We turn away and turn about
Everywhere mistrust and doubt
And one-by-one our lights go out
We need each other now

And while we sit upon the fence
In harmony and dissonance
The bells toll out intolerance
We need each other now

Rise up! Rise up you hopeful men
And women who might try again
And with one voice your message send
We need each other now
Yeah, we need each other now

And as I watch the setting sun
I'm slow to stand and quick to run
And my brother asks whose side I'm on
We need each other now

Rise up! Rise up you hopeful men
And women who might try again
And with one voice our message send
We need each other now

Rise up! Rise up you hopeful men
And women who might try again
And with one voice our message send
We need each other now
Yeah, we need each other now
We need each other now
