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

[Chorus]

We are united

No point in trying

To fight it

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

[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

[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

[Outro]

All we need is one song
