Work As One
Kizzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish I knew the things that I know now
But it all has changed
And we'll have to move on to a new time
I've had my fill, my share in this life
Full of it's ups and downs
What I see is that we should come
Together and open our eyes
We need to get a little pushy-pushy
No time for us holding on
We got to get busy-busy
Come together work as One
Walking back through my area
I just stand and stare
Things could be a little bit brigther
Everyone knows we care
Talk in the Big House
Them 'go fix it so and so
Them ain't doing nothing
That's the way it always go
Away with depression
Get a good education
No complication
Let's all join hands together
We want it, yes we really want it
We need it, yes we really need it
