Get Together
Big Mountain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You gotta get together...

Love is but a song we'll sing
And feels the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or making just cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why

C'mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

Some will come and some will go
And we shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We have but a moments on life
Fading in the grass

C'mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

C'mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

Wanna grab all all your friend
Nothing for deal and is just for making
Live in this situation
Must forward in this generation
Seek the truth in your heart, in your mind
Do what's right and you shall fight
There's a universal family
Peace my brothers and my sisters

C'mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just when key unlocks them both
It's there at your command

C'mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

C'mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now




Right now
Right now...

Line by Line Meaning

Love is but a song we'll sing
Love is comparable to a song that we would sing


And feels the way we die
It can evoke the same feelings as when we die


You can make the mountains ring
You can impact and influence people and the world


Or making just cry
You can bring happiness or sadness


Though the bird is on the wing
Even though sometimes things happen without explanation


And you may not know why
And we may not always have the answers


C'mon people now
Come on, let's go


Smile on your brother
Be kind and happy to one another


Everybody get together
Let's all come together


Try to love one another right now
And show love to one another right at this moment


Some will come and some will go
People will enter and leave our lives


And we shall surely pass
And we will surely die


When the one that left us here
When the one who has passed away comes back for us


Returns for us at last
When we die, whoever has passed will take us with them


We have but a moments on life
We only have a short amount of time on earth


Fading in the grass
And we will fade away like grass does


Wanna grab all all your friend
You want to bring all of your friends together


Nothing for deal and is just for making
Without looking for a monetary gain, it's just for the sake of doing it


Live in this situation
Live in the present moment


Must forward in this generation
We need to keep moving forward


Seek the truth in your heart, in your mind
Find the truth within yourself


Do what's right and you shall fight
Do the right thing and you will overcome obstacles


There's a universal family
We are all a part of a universal family


Peace my brothers and my sisters
We should all live in peace and harmony


If you hear the song I sing
If you understand the message I am trying to convey


You will understand (listen)
You will comprehend the meaning behind the lyrics


You hold the key to love and fear
You have the power to either love or be afraid


All in your trembling hand
It's all in your hands, and you may be scared about it


Just when key unlocks them both
However, once you find the key to both love and fear


It's there at your command
You can control both emotions and use them to influence the world


Right now
At this moment, currently


Right now...
Right now... Let's start making a change

Vocês tem que estar juntos

Amor é uma canção para cantar

Morremos aos poucos por medo

Você pode fazer as montanhas soarem

Ou fazer os anjos chorar

Embora o pássaro esteja voando

E você pode não saber por que


Venha gente agora

Sorria para seu irmão

Todo mundo juntos

Tente amar um ao outro agora


Alguns virão e alguns vão

Certamente passaremos

Quando aquele que nos deixou aqui

Em fim retorna para nos

Somos apenas um fulgor do sol

Sumindo na grama


Venha gente agora

Sorria para seu irmão

Todo mundo juntos

Tente amar um ao outro agora


Venha gente agora

Sorria para seu irmão

Todo mundo juntos

Tente amar um ao outro agora


Vá pegar todos seus amigos

Nada está à venda, nem à toa

Viver nesta situação

Deve seguir nesta geração

Busque a verdade no seu coração, na sua mente

Faça a coisa certa e estará lutando

Há uma família universal

Paz meus irmãos e irmãs


Venha gente agora

Sorria para seu irmão

Todo mundo juntos

Tente amar um ao outro agora


Se ouvir a música que canto

Você vai entender (ouça!)

Você tem a chave para amor e medo

Na sua mão que treme

Uma chave libera ambos

Depende apenas de ti


Venha gente agora

Sorria para seu irmão

Todo mundo juntos

Tente amar um ao outro agora


Venha gente agora

Sorria para seu irmão

Todo mundo juntos

Tente amar um ao outro agora

Agora

Agora
