Verse 1
Nowadays people say you ain’t nothing
F’you ain’t got a spot in this social play place
That you have a meaning...less the hearts that could cover your name
Pre-chorus
But I say every person has a worth that couldn’t be paid by the richest of our day
So take a smile as needed, hold your head up, conquer your way
Chorus
We can’t go alone, but we won’t go along now
Cause these ones need our smiles, we can turn this around now
V2
Just because they do it don’t mean I do this verbal beating though they do deserve it...these are people
They pray for mercy too, dream of a world free of evil
Pre-chorus
Cause I say every person has a worth that can’t be paid by the richest of our day
So take a smile as needed, hold your head up, conquer your way
Chorus
We can’t go alone, but we won’t go along now
Cause these ones need our smiles, we can turn this around now
8-bar solo
Bridge
I know it’s tough to stand up if you are only one
You’re worth the effort to fight for-cause there’s one you, then after, no more will come
Pre-chorus
I say every person has a worth that can’t be paid by the richest of our day
So take a smile as needed, hold your head up, conquer your way
Chorus x2
We can’t go alone, but we won’t go along now
Cause these ones need our smiles, we can turn this around
[on last]
We can’t go alone, but we won’t go along now
Cause these ones need our smiles, we can turn this around now
Outro
But they said my hat is stupid...we can turn this around now;
But they said my accent is weird....we can turn this around now;
But they said I’m not bright enough...we can turn this around now,
But they said I’m not welcome here...we can turn this around now.
End
