Let's Work Together Now
Donna Summer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Different faces other races
New conditions old traditions
All are one

From the humble to the mighty
Those in need and those with plenty
All are one
Yes we all are one

Let's work together now
Towards a better kind of world
One for our children's child
Let's work together now
Respect our neighbor's way of life
We've got to harmonize

Learn to give without return
And you will find yourself
With all the friends you need

All these problems on this earth
Are only due to selfish acts of men's on greed
Let's stop all this creed

Let's work together now
Let's make a better kind of world
Think of our children's child
Please work together now
Respect each person's way of life
Let's start to harmonize

Different faces other races
New conditions old traditions
All are one

From the humble to the mighty
Those in need and those with plenty
All are one, yes we all are one

Let's work together now
Let's make a better kind of world
Think of our children's child
Please work together now
Respect each person's way of life

Let's start to harmonize
Let's work together now




Let's make a better kind of world
Think of our children's child

The message of the song is simple: let's work together towards a better world, one that we can leave for our children's children. The solution to achieving this better world is presented as being respectful of each other's ways of life and learning to give without expecting anything in return.


The strong message of unity and working together in "Let's Work Together Now" is likely influenced by the social and political climate of the time period in which it was released.
