Let me show you
Let me show you the way to go

I don't know everything

And now I'm ready to show
That we can come together
And think like one
Come together now
Live together underneath the sun

But only we can work this out
'Cause we can help each other to overcome
We can do it
We can do it now
Rejoice everybody
And get the job done
