ONE SONG

Music: Count Us In 2018 Program

Song: S. Chesworth, J. Clarke, J. Foreman, E. Jones, A. Keenan, H. Law, R. Law


[Verse 1]

Let's all come together

Shake off the rainy weather

When life tries to get you down, get you down

One song can turn it all around


[Pre-Chrous 1]

Come along with me

Come along with me


[Chorus]

We are united

No point in trying

To fight it

United, we stand higher

We come together

It's sounding better

United, united

We stand higher



[Verse 2]

Your hands make the rhythm

Your feet dancing with them

Our voices are ringing out, ringing out

Our song, keep it playing loud


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Sing along with me

Sing along with me


[Chorus]

We are united

No point in trying

To fight it

United, we stand higher


We come together

It's sounding better

United, united

We stand higher


[Post-Chorus]

All we need is one song, one song

All we need is one song, one song

All we need is one song, one song

All we need is one song, one song


[Bridge]

You may be small but you can change it all

Just one word can be heard

Branches on a tree

Raindrops to the sea


[Chorus]

We are united

No point in trying

To fight it

United, we stand higher


We come together

It's sounding better

United, united

We stand higher


[Chorus]

We are united

No point in trying

To fight it

United, we stand higher


We come together

It's sounding better

United, united

We stand higher


[Post-Chorus]

All we need is one song, one song

(We are united)

All we need is one song, one song

(Yeeeaaaahhhhh)

All we need is one song, one song

All we need is one song, one song


[Outro]

All we need is one song
