One

We all need to love a little 
but we can't be to vulnerable or brittle
We need to find our own way
We need to have our own say

We all need to be individual people, right
We all need to follow our own light
We have to march to our own beat
We all need our own feat

But there is always a time to join hands
There is always a time to release the bands
To raise our voices in one united yell
And to declare we haven't fell

Our lives will prosper as individuals and as one
We need freedom and safety to have fun
We have to stand together and fight
We, together, have unbeatable might.
