Come on everybody, everybody gather 'round
And listen to the music, yeah, listen to the sound
We want you all together, we want you all along
And i'll tell you something good
And i'll tell you something strong

People get ready
Don't believe that you're better off dead
People stand together
'cause it's a long hard day
And there's strange weather laying up ahead
Don't listen to the gun, tommy put away the knife
You've gotta give a damn 'bout another man's life
See it clear with your mind, maybe make a change
Why you act so funny, why you act so strange?

Now people get ready
Don't believe that you're better off dead
Sing "people stand together"
'cause it's a long hard day
And there's strange weather laying up ahead
My love's a brother
And we're holding on
Don't fear another
We're holding on
