Your daddy was a Baptist and your mama loved to dance
You were born in Memphis but you live in Paris, France
You may lose your faith in everything
Or you may take a solemn vow
But from this day on - my friends and foe
We're all in this together now
You may love the carousel or the silence of the trees
You may be the last one standing or the queen of all you see
Some rest easy on the mountain
And some sweat behind the plow
But make no mistake for heaven's sake
We're all in this together now
Night will fall, the wind will howl
All those things we love so well
Empires crumble while we sleep
But you must have a story to tell
Wake up now - I want to hear it
Wake up now
I love you like a brother and I don't know you at all
I heard your voice across the wire - I never thought you'd call
So hold tight the sword, hold fast the sail
Cause we might be taken down
It's a lonely world but it's our only world
And we're all in this together now
