We Are
Music: Count Us In 2019 Program
Music and Lyrics: B. Cavanagh/A. Farnan/J. Foreman/S. Mlaih/R. Nair/J. River
[Verse 1]
We're losing faith
And things won't change
Stuck inside a rainy day
The road is long
We stay strong
We can find a better way
[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is a little music to lift our spirits high
Stop and listen to the rhythm and just remember...
[Chorus]
We are people
We are more
We raise voices
We are strong
We sing songs
We're musical like
La da da da
Go to space
We're astronauts
Fireworks about to burst
We light up the universe
Like la da da da da
[Post-Chorus]
You're not alone
You're not alone
Just let the music take you home
You're not alone
You're not alone
Just let the music take you home
[Verse 2]
Why can't we see a better dream?
Put our differences aside?
Turn it round
The sun is found
Sing together side by side
[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is a little music to lift our spirits high
Stop and listen to the rhythm and just remember...
[Chorus]
We are people
We are more
We raise voices
We are strong
We sing songs
We're musical like
La da da da
Go to space
We're astronauts
Fireworks about to burst
We light up the universe
Like la da da da da
[Post-Chorus]
You're not alone
You're not alone
Just let the music take you home
You're not alone
You're not alone
Just let the music take you home
[Bridge]
Hey-o hey-o hey-o hey-o
Hey-o hey-o hey-o hey-o
Hey-o hey-o hey-o hey-o
La da da da da
Hey-o hey-o hey-o hey-o
Hey-o hey-o hey-o hey-o
Hey-o hey-o hey-o hey-o
La da da da da
[Chorus]
We are people
We are more
We raise voices
We are strong
We sing songs
We're musical like
La da da da
Go to space
We're astronauts
Fireworks about to burst
We light up the universe
Like la da da da da
[Post-Chorus]
You're not alone
You're not alone
Just let the music take you home
You're not alone
You're not alone
Just let the music take you home
[Outro]
You're not alone
You're not alone
Just let the music take you home
You're not alone
You're not alone
Just let the music take you home
