Come on everybody, everybody gather 'round And listen to the music, yeah, listen to the sound We want you all together, we want you all along And I'll tell you something good And I'll tell you something strong People get ready Don't believe that you're better off dead People stand together 'Cause it's a long hard day And there's strange weather laying up ahead Don't listen to the gun, Tommy put away the knife You've gotta give a damn 'bout another man's life See it clear with your mind, maybe make a change Why you act so funny, why you act so strange? Now people get ready Don't believe that you're better off dead Sing "People stand together" 'Cause it's a long hard day And there's strange weather laying up ahead My love's a brother And we're holding on Don't fear another We're holding on
