Lyrics Coming Together - Jason Robert Brown

Coming Together

Come to the water
The water will flow
Stand to the night
See the light, let it grow
Hold on, for hard winds
Are starting to blow —
Stand up, hold on
And swear you won’t let go
Whatever I said doesn’t matter
Whatever you said doesn’t hurt
Whatever we meant
And whatever we did
Is lost in the water
Whatever I felt I’ve forgotten
Whatever I planned I released
But come take my hand
Come down to the water
Come down to the water
Where people are coming together
And people are falling apart
And no one can hide —
We’re caught in the tide
And punched in the heart
And people are harder than diamonds
People are stronger than knives
We breathe and we burn
But we’ll never return
For the rest of our lives
For the rest of our lives
People are coming together
Hold on
People are coming together
Come down to the water
Come down to the water
Where people are coming together
And people are falling apart
Ah
We’re branded and blind
And we try to rewind
To reset and restart
And people are louder than fire
Woah
And people are stronger than knives
We’ll pick up the slack
But we’ll never go back
For the rest of our lives
For the rest of our lives…
People are coming together
Hold on
People are coming together
Come to the water
The water will flow
Stand to the night
See the light, let it grow
Hold on, for hard winds
Are starting to blow —
Stand up!
Stand up!
Hold on!
Hold on!
Stand up!
Stand up!
Hold on!
Hold on!
Stand up!
People are coming together
People are coming together
People are coming together
People are coming together
All across the water!
Stand up, hold on
Stand up, hold on
Stand up, hold on…
And swear you won’t let go
