Back in the day, I would hear what my father said
Nod my head I was young I was reckless
Either way, I would still try to do my best
Open mind open heart when he said
My son, just be yourself and come with love
Because this world ain't got enough, oh no
You know that times are getting tough
So be as one and rise above
Woah, oh-oh-oh, we all want to come together but we stand divided
Woah, oh-oh-oh, let's get closer, come a little closer
Woah, oh-oh-oh, we think we know it all but we're so misguided
Woah, oh-oh-oh, bring it in a little closer
♪
I was told to think of what you're leaving
Is it a life you hoped you'd be leading?
You treat the world how you wanna be treated
No sense in getting even
♪
Woah, oh-oh-oh, we all want to come together but we stand divided
Woah, oh-oh-oh, let's get closer, come a little closer
Woah, oh-oh-oh, we think we know it all but we're so misguided
Woah, oh-oh-oh, bring it in a little closer
These are the things that I've been taught
You know these lessons can't be bought, oh no
And on the days that I forgot
I just remember it's a lot to know
Woah, oh-oh-oh, we all want to come together but we stand divided
Woah, oh-oh-oh, let's get closer, come a little closer
Woah, oh-oh-oh, we think we know it all but we're so misguided
Woah, oh-oh-oh, bring it in a little closer
