Come together
Wholy holy
People we all gotta come together
'Cause we need the strength, power, all the feeling
Wholy holy
Oh Lord, come on get together, one another
Wholy holy
Wholy holy we should believe in one another (Believe in Jesus)
Jesus left a long time ago, said he would return (Believe it)
He left us a book to believe in
In it we've got a lot to learn
Oh, wholy holy (Oh Lord)
We can conquer (Yes we can) hate forever (Oh Lord)
Wholy (wholy holy, wholy holy)
We can rock the world's foundation (Yes we can)
Everybody together, together in a wholy
We'll holler love love love across the nation (Oh, oh)
Wholy holy, all together in wholy
We proclaim love, our salvation
Oooh, ooh
