Things have changed
Life ain't the same
Brother's getting shot
Throwbacks and chain (Ohhh)
Please explain
How we remain
A step behind the game?
(Boy we need to catch up)
Please invade
Violence and gangs
Lil'ol Jermaine caught one to his brain (Ohhh)
Speed, evade, stickups on trains,
Pick ups on main
(Boy this world is messed up)

(Chorus):
If we rise together
We can fly forever
If we move together
We can do whatever
If we drink together
We can see together
If we come together
We can love forever
If we pray together
We'll stay together
If we can be together
We'll be forever
If we believe together
We can achieve whatever

If we just we just learn how to love...

VERSE 2:
Think your cool
Dropped outta school
Just turned 27
Now whatcha ya gon' do?
Bein rude
Breaking the rules
Don't have a clue
(Man you got it twisted)
Dude Jerome
Leaving your home
Just from a bump from this chick with this dome
Leave him lone
Ladies be strong
Help won't be long
(Don't be a statistic)

CHORUS 2:
If we rise together
We can fly forever
If we move together
We can do whatever
If we drink together
We can see together
If we come together
We can love forever
If we pray together
We'll stay together
If we can be together
We'll be forever
If we believe together
We can achieve whatever

If we just we just learn how to love...

Verse 3:
World corruption, mass destruction, people suffering, from a back n'
clutchin (?), it's no discussing what we gotta do, just keep your head up,
and we gonna make it through, children dying, mama's crying, father's
crying, father's lying, just to keep from buying, theres no denying what I
say is true, just put your trust in Christ and he'll see it through--

Final Chrous (X2):
If we rise together
We can fly forever
If we move together
We can do whatever
If we drink together
We can see together
If we come together
We can love forever
If we pray together
We'll stay together
If we can be together
We'll be forever
If we believe together
We can achieve whatever

If we just we just learn how to love...
