Your daddy was a Baptist And your mama loved to dance You were born in Memphis But you live in Paris, France You may lose your faith in everything Or you may take a solemn vow But from this day on - my friends and foe We're all in this together now ♪ You may love the carousel Or the silence of the trees You may be the last one standing Or the queen of all you see Some rest easy on the mountain And some sweat behind the plow But make no mistake - for heaven's sake We're all in this together now Night will fall, the wind will howl All those things we love so well Empires crumble while we sleep But you must have a story to tell Wake up now - I want to hear it Wake up now I love you like a brother And I don't know you at all I heard your voice across the wire I never thought you'd call Hold tight the sword, hold fast the sail We might be taken down It's a lonely world but it's our only world And we're all in this together now
