Together

You see that young man over there with a bottle in his hand
He used to be a neighbor of mine, till he was sent to Afghanistan
As a fireman he saved some lives, now he has no home of his own
I never heard his terrible story, or why he’s so alone
Chorus:
Together, all together
We’re all bonded together in our loneliness
You see that woman over there? Her kids used to play with mine.
Whenever you needed a favor, you could count on her all the time.
Now she’s got all her belongings inside that shopping cart.
People say her husband left her and she went crazy from a broken hear
Chorus:
Together, all together,
We’re all bonded together in our brokenness.
You see that old man sitting there, mumbling to himself and the ground
He lifts his head sometimes, but doesn’t seem to see what’s around.
I sit down by his side, hoping he’ll look up and see;
Trying not to cry, I say «Daddy, I’m here, it’s me.»
Chorus:
Together, all together
We’re all bonded together in our hopefulness.
