We are here together, together, together
We are here together, everyone.
What we do together, together, together,
What we do together, we do as one.
CHORUS Every day, we work and play,
Learning ways to get alone.
Finding out, what life´s about,
Everybody moving on.
When we play together, together, together
When we play together, it´s so much fun!
When we work together, together, together
When we work together, the job get´s done!
CHORUS
When we sing together, together, together,
When we sing together, the beat goes on!
When we move together, together, together,
When we move together, it keeps us strong!
CHORUS
Put your hands together, together, together,
Put your hands together, everyone!
Repeat verse 1
