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
