Together - Wintergreen

You see that young man over there with a bottle in his hand

He used to be a neighbor of mine, till he was sent to Afghanistan

As a fireman he saved some lives, now he has no home of his own

I never heard his terrible story, or why he’s so alone

Chorus:

Together, all together

We’re all bonded together in our loneliness

You see that woman over there?

Her kids used to play with mine.

Whenever you needed a favor, you could count on her all the time.

Now she’s got all her belongings inside that shopping cart.

People say her husband left her and she went crazy from a broken hear

Chorus:

Together, all together,

We’re all bonded together in our brokenness.

You see that old man sitting there, mumbling to himself and the ground

He lifts his head sometimes, but doesn’t seem to see what’s around.

I sit down by his side, hoping he’ll look up and see;

Trying not to cry, I say «Daddy, I’m here, it’s me.»

Chorus:

Together, all together

We’re all bonded together in our hopefulness.
