Coming Together - Jason Robert Brown

Come to the water

The water will flow

Stand to the night

See the light, let it grow

Hold on, for hard winds

Are starting to blow —

Stand up, hold on

And swear you won’t let go

Whatever I said doesn’t matter

Whatever you said doesn’t hurt

Whatever we meant

And whatever we did

Is lost in the water

Whatever I felt I’ve forgotten

Whatever I planned I released

But come take my hand

Come down to the water

Come down to the water

Where people are coming together

And people are falling apart

And no one can hide —

We’re caught in the tide

And punched in the heart

And people are harder than diamonds

People are stronger than knives

We breathe and we burn

But we’ll never return

For the rest of our lives

For the rest of our lives

People are coming together

Hold on

People are coming together

Come down to the water

Come down to the water

Where people are coming together

And people are falling apart

Ah

We’re branded and blind

And we try to rewind

To reset and restart

And people are louder than fire

Woah

And people are stronger than knives

We’ll pick up the slack

But we’ll never go back

For the rest of our lives

For the rest of our lives…

People are coming together

Hold on

People are coming together

Come to the water

The water will flow

Stand to the night

See the light, let it grow

Hold on, for hard winds

Are starting to blow —

Stand up!

Stand up!

Hold on!

Hold on!

Stand up!

Stand up!

Hold on!

Hold on!

Stand up!

People are coming together

People are coming together

People are coming together

People are coming together

All across the water!

Stand up, hold on

Stand up, hold on

Stand up, hold on…

And swear you won’t let go
