This isn't going to last forever
You have to believe
It's a temporary situation
Bringing us to our knees
I need you
You need me
It's a simple equation
There's no I
Only we
Do we even know how we got here
No light to guide our way
We'll make it out alright together
Politicians don't have a say
I need you
You need me
It's a simple equation
There's no I
Only we
No man is an island
So the saying goes
Drowning, drowning, drowning
All around us
The waters rose
Reaching out a hand
To pull each other up
Is how our humanity grows
So if the leaders
Don't have the answers
The future lies in us
Leaning on each other
Our kindest instincts
We can trust
I need you
You need me
It's a simple equation
There's no I
Only we
