Keep It Together
Guster Lyrics

When we all finally washed ashore
After being shipwrecked, we found ourselves alone and isolated from the rest of the world.

It was clear there was no one else around
There was no sign of civilization or hope for rescue, we were completely alone.

We declared a national holiday
In spite of our situation, we decided to stay optimistic and celebrate the chance to start anew.

A chance to build it from the ground
We saw this as an opportunity to rebuild society and create something new from scratch.

So far away from everyone
We were completely isolated and alone, with no idea if anyone else was still alive.

And everything starts today
We were determined to start fresh and create a new beginning for ourselves.

Keep it together
We needed to stay united and work together to survive and rebuild.

Can we keep it together
Despite the challenges ahead, we were uncertain if we could maintain our unity and cohesion.

We're singing a new song now
We were determined to bring a fresh perspective to this situation and start anew.

Can we rise? Can we get along all right?
We were hopeful that we could overcome the challenges ahead and remain united in our efforts.

Can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in?
We wondered if we could avoid repeating the same mistakes that had caused our original disaster.

And the boats went out at night
Despite the dangers and uncertainty, we searched for hope and found a way to sustain ourselves.

And the choppers in the sky
We looked to the skies for rescue and for a sign of hope.

They searched but they could find no trace of us
Realizing we were alone and isolated, we needed to rely on ourselves to survive and rebuild.

The thunder struck, the clouds appeared
Despite our optimism, nature posed a significant threat to our chances of survival.

Our fearless crew was not prepared
We were not immune to fear or doubt, and we needed to remain vigilant against the challenges we faced.

And pretty soon the boats came for us
Despite our isolation, we found a way to persevere, and we were eventually rescued and brought back to civilization.

Half a million strong
Upon returning home, we were able to draw strength and find support from the larger community.

We gathered arms, we fired shells
Despite our loneliness, we were able to build a united front and work together to overcome the challenges ahead.

We build a wall around ourselves
While recognizing our vulnerability, we also understood the need to protect ourselves and our community from external threats.

And pretty soon the spirit was a lot like what it used to be back home
Despite the challenges we faced, we were able to find a way to rebuild and regain a sense of normalcy and community.
